Last time we had snow was... October. On Halloween. ><

Hahaha explains why I couldn't find it on Google, only thing it found was Belgium Last snow before that was a year ago. Two winters ago we had a really nice load though! Want that back! -I love snow by the way-

Yay me too! I love it when it's freezing outside. The clear air! And snow makes it even prettier. The two weeks of frost (and a bit of snow) we had I spent at least an hour a day just walking around outside! <3 <3 <3
I can't really stand hot weather actually. Nobody gets why I don't like to spend my summer holidays on the beach and go on travelling trips to Wales (UK) instead of warm and sunny Spain...
Oh and btw, I just started a bit of writing finally -haha 2am woops- but the first 400 words of MarNoWriMo are a fact!

The weird thing about me is that I like the cold outside, and I like to be warm when I'm indoors.
And yay for progress! (I'm cheating, and started writing a few days ago... I'm at... Wow. 3,245?? Sweet!)

I wanted to go to bed 'early' for the first time this week. Since writing after midnight wouldn't help me win FebNoWriMo -and I had been writing 'till 4 am the last two nights-
But well, I simply write well at night. It's 3.50am again and I'm at 3,556 words for March -woopsie- haha Time for bed now!!

I'm turning in my 'Free Return to a Previous Subject in Random Chatter' token. LOL
You were talking about your novels wanting to be trilogies. My first serious writing project not only turned into a trilogy, but a trilogy of a trilogy. Or something like that.
Book 1 = 900k (give or take) Book 2 = 900k (give or take) Book 3 = 900k (give or take)
So, split each book into a trilogy of around 100k each, that equals ... does the math ... nine books in my trilogy.
I wrote all that in a couple of years time. Well, me and a co/writer I had at the time.

Haha, ever heard of the term 'Kill your darlings'? Hahaha No really. Respect! That is a whole lot of words!
My second book of the trilogy is about 200k at the moment. A lot, but well, think it might be less when editted. Er - if editted...

Yeah, I believe it was William Faulkner who said, 'Kill your darlings.' XD A very appropriate term! I just spent the whole day going all 'Another One Bites The Dust' on Nostradamus. :-) The end result of it is that I have combined two male characters, and two female characters...well, not only that, but their storyline. I think this will make them a lot more interesting!
My novel just went through its usual trilologic expansion period. At this point, after the massacre and the necromancy, raising it back from the dead, I don't know whether it still needs to be one, because I don't really know the details of the 'backstory' and the 'sequel.' =P
As for a trilogy of trilogies, it's quite possible that it could turn out excellent. I know that Jacqueline Carey has a trilogy of trilogies, each trilogy focusing on a different main character, and those books are epic and excellent! :-)

They are killing me with 'Kill your darlings' in college, doing quite some Journalistic subjects.
I have a serie as well. Not sure how many parts it is going to have in the end actually. Have about 5/6 more books planned (never finished actually haha)

xD Nothing like, as polak puts it, Wheel of Time Syndrome. Siiiigh. It's something you just have to at once love and hate! You're happy because of all the inspiration, but...again...more plot holes to juggle!
Erk...I HATE hot weather...and I live in Florida! Yes, yes. =P In summer, I stay very much indoors, and I HATE humidity.
...Yeah, so Florida is pretty much the worst place for me to be, because it's got both heat and humidity.
I wonder what it's like to actually see snow, and to see the autumn leaves change color in the autumn. Is it sad that I'm a grown woman who has no idea how to make a snowman? =P

Well, snowmen? They're not too much fun, I have to say... ><

xD Why?
"I cuddled with a snowman once. He was a bit of a wet blanket."

Oh agent, I get what you mean! We don't have a climate like in Florida, but we used to visit countries like that and I can't stand it either. When it gets hot over her in the summer there's a lot of humity as well. I stay inside as well, where is colder and only tend to go out at night!
I'm much more of an autumn person and looove winter. Not much snow here either, but like to go to other countries where there is a lot of snow! Love skiing! Not that much into making snowmen, but just walking in the snow, how lovely it looks -oh- and did I mention skiing? Haha Hope you'll get to see it some time!
