Offering the world a little peek into my psyche. It's still not too late to run.
Che, weak ningen. There is no escape.
Sure there is `Geta! They just gotta hit the

KAKAROTT!!!!!
All right! That's enough you two! *glares darkly at the two saiya-jin* Boys.
Anyway, welcome to my blog, I am Murasaki Rose aka: Jeanne, and the picture to the right is obviously an anime version of myself, drawn by yours truly.
Here you'll find the random ramblings and insights of a slightly obsessive Yu-Gi-Oh/DBZ fangirl.
Be afraid. Be very afraid. |

Life, the Universe, and NaNoWriMo
As I claw my way back into my normal life, I look back on November with a sense of accomplishment . . . and a dim sense of horror.
This was without a doubt one of the busiest Novembers I have ever had. (Visiting or visits from relatives not counting.)
My work schedule practically doubled. One week, it literally doubled. I was training the new overnight dispatcher, so I got a lot of nice overtime, but it really wiped me out.
Then there was NaNoWriMo, a tremendous feat even in a normal November, but this year was pushing it. I had to do most of my writing the last ten days but still I managed to squeak through with 50,330 words this time. Higher than my first year, but not as high as I wanted. Still a victory is a victory, so I'll take it.
So what do I have to show for it? 5 new chapters for Evading Destiny, bringing it from my planned 17 to a nice even 20.
3 chapters of the first story from Preceding Destiny, the prequel series of short stories from the Retrieving Destiny Universe.
And last but not least: 10 chapters of a brand new story, starring our favorite Yu-Gi-Oh bois as youkai.
I hadn't planned on the new story. Really. Especially working on one but nooooo, my brain turned traitor on me. I was having one of my random bouts of insomnia when this really dark idea popped into my head. Unfortunately, the longer I stayed awake the more the idea poked at me and eventually I turned it into something less dark and disturbing and more darkish but with a happy ending. What can I say? I'm a sucker for them.
So I had to write it to get it out of my brain and wouldn't you know? It evolved from what I thought would be a short story, into a multi-chaptered fic that may end up novel length like most of my stories.
Editing has already begun and right now I'm posting what I didn't get to last month, hammering out the next chapter of My Moonlit Lover, working on the household Christmas decorating, updating my websites, and that's just what's on my current "to do" list, along with a million other things including drawing a really cute Yugi and Jonouchi pic for Christmas. My muses are already cringing in anticipation.
and we still haven't had that @#$%! garage sale!
