Clock Rewinders (07/07/13)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Kelly land!

• So. It's July. I've signed up for Camp NaNo. Which mean that I'm writing, writing, writing in all my spare time. The good news is that I finished my June story in June (it clocked in at 25K words), so that I was able to start on my zombie story on July 1st (target goal 25K words, although it will probably end up longer). The even better news is that I am loving my current story. It's practically writing itself. (and, I'll probably curse myself by writing that but I SHALL DO IT ANYWAY!)

News from around the blogosphere:

• Remember when I had that time last week where I was all "I'm going to share happy, happy things!"? OMG! THIS! Professor Snape Doing Everyday Things! Snape's on a plane, guys. SNAPE'S ON A MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!
• Then there was the time the Bloggess shared something off the wall about Smurfette and people started jumping in left and right with all the weird things they always thought were true! Oh mah gawd! The hilarity!
• And then there was the time that Amanda told us it was okay to use white space in blogging! Oh, wait. That's not quite the same, is it? BUT STILL! You should read that article because it doesn't make my eyes bleed.
