And Then There Were 80,000...

80,000 words, that is. I know there's still another full day of NaNoWriMo left, but I'm throwing in the towel early. At the beginning of the month, I barely dared admit to myself, let alone everyone here, that I was aiming for 100,000 words in one month this year. I really didn't want to say it out loud in case I failed. Well, technically I...

Old Stories, New Stories and Moving

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 03 October 2012 · 228 views

So if any of you follow me on Twitter, you'll have seen that I'm currently in the process of moving to France. Technically I've actually been here a week already, but I think "moving" entails so much more than physically packing my bags, jumping on a train and arriving in a new town & flat some (many) hours later. I think I'm r...

5 Years

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 01 September 2012 · 233 views

So every year I tend to post an extremely sappy blog, marking another year passing for me at HPFF.My 5th HPFF anniversary was on 30th August, and as always I'm still quite surprised I'm here (not because you're all horrible or anything, but considering how much my life has changed over those 5 years it's a wonder anything at all has stayed...

Saying Goodbye to Just Rose

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 16 June 2012 · 568 views

I don't think it's really sunk in yet and I have to keep reminding myself, but yesterday I finished writing Just Rose. The total word count is about 125,000 words, and though I have still plenty of chapters to put on the archives it's significant to me at this moment in time because I've finished writing it. I started Just Rose on New Year...

Camp NaNo, my writing saviour

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 15 May 2012 · 340 views

I don't often talk about my writing unprompted, especially not in blogs. I've talked about NaNo when everyone else did, discussing mostly word count more than anything else. I blog about staffer things, because I feel like that will be at least helpful or interesting to some. But I find it extremely difficult to just go out and talk about my stori...

The Nature of the Queue

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 06 May 2012 · 491 views

I'm quite happy to admit that once upon a time I thought that "backlog" equalled wait time for validation. I'd estimate the date my chapter would be validated. 7-8 days later when my chapter still hadn't materialised, I'd wonder why I was still waiting."The queue was at 7 days when I put it in, why hasn't it been validated...

april fools

http://zipmeme.com/u...jpg That's right, I'm about to reveal the truth about the staff alternative accounts from April Fools Day. Little did many unsuspecting members know that those they knew, considered friends, and may have even loved, were actually staff members in disguise. Thank you to everyone who had a g...

Did We Fool You?

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 02 April 2012 · 1,237 views

April Fools

I can't believe another year has passed and another April Fools is over. It's always been one of my favourite events on the HPFF calendar, and it's something that's been great on both the member and staff side of the day. We get to see many new faces on the day, either expressing joy or outrage at whatever the day brings, and we do rather...

Happy Anniversary HPFF :)

Posted by tell_me_what_the_truth_is , 07 February 2012 · 534 views

So, this is my first entry of 2012. I was going to do a recap/resolution blog a few weeks back but life got a bit busy and I forgot.Anyway, I'm not actually going to blog about that now either. My thoughts are currently on HPFF's 11th anniversary and my upcoming 5th later in the year. I've been clearing out my inbox today and although a lot of...
