*hurries to post before day is over*
Nov. 4th, 2008 11:52 pmSo, I bet you didn't think I'd do anything crazy in order to have things to write for NaBloPoMo, did you?
Well, I did. Apparently.
I had a prang today (I prefer that word, because it sounds a lot less dire than 'accident'). Was on the way to Officeworks to get my besties manuscript bound so I can read it wherever I am, and the way you have to get to that place is a pain in the arse, involving going past it and then doubling back to get into the carpark. So I was waiting in the right hand turn lane, and I saw that there's a business with a big, open car park space which would be perfect to turn around in, and I think, well, when the right arrow goes green, cars won't be coming the other way, will they?
Of course, I didn't even consider that they would be turning LEFT out of the side-street, did I?
In short, am fine. Car has a bit of a ding. Truck driver tried to suggest that all these bad things had happened to his truck because of this minimal impact. I call shenanigans, but apparently that's for the insurance company to decide.
Insurance premium will probably go through the roof. Will have to pay out moneys. Am a crap driver. No, really. I admit it. I've been driving now for seven years (including L's), and I've had four accidents. Minor ones, always my fault, from not looking properly or going too fast or whatever.
Am a crap driver.
By the way, in case any of the Miranda and/or Richard E. Grant fans on my flist didn't see, I posted fic yesterday ;).

Good warm up for
yuletide, right? I enjoyed writing it, even though I know like, five people probably know the fandom. Bunny demanded to be written. Was quite bizarre to write porny fanfic without the use of 'cock' or 'cunt', but I managed it. Didn't think it would be IC for Farquhar to think in those words, since he had such trouble with 'your cheeks are as soft as a July peach' in the film ;).

yuletide, continue work on
smutty_claus, make a banner for a friend, and beta Incapa's fic. Hmm, and sleep, eventually.
