My dog ate my homework
Dec. 14th, 2012 09:42 pmI managed to meet my word count goal by the skin of my teeth (the usual 3K per weekday or 15K total), but I failed where it came to the writing homework.
I am not done yet (gah!) but my plan is still to have Part 11 finished by Christmas, if not posted by then. Or rather, after Christmas day, because there was a disturbing number of people who read it when they should have been opening presents or spending time with their families, or, God forbid, sleeping in, and I don't want to take away from that.
But given the current time frame, I doubt I'll be able to get Part 11 betaed (by someone who's not me) in time for two reasons: it's too close to the holidays, and I don't want to give anyone the task of dealing with my hackneyed monstrosity when they should be wrapping presents, fighting off crowds at the mall for that last Marios Bros DS game, and staying up all night freaking the fuck out because the Christmas shopping? It's not going so well.
Wait. That last part might be just me. No, don't ask me how the shopping is going. Because it's not.
Anyway, as a side note, I am wondering if there is someone fluent in Welsh who might be willing to help me with a translation of a few phrases? They are mostly dialogue and I am adaptable to "your best fit" or "whatever slang actually works here", and I will give context (but no snippets) to help make that "best fit".
