Distracted By Something Shiny

I kept meaning to get this all written up, just some numbers on my word counts for 2013. I actually kept track throughout the year because the previous year, when I added it all up, I realized I was just 750 words short from hitting 100k and there was no way I was going to let that happen again. Especially this time when I added it up at the 6-month mark and realized I had 50k exactly, I had to go for the big goal and get it done.

( Random Things About My 2013 Writing Under The Cut. )

Total Yearly Word Count - 101,200 words written in 2013!!

My goals for 2014 are to finish all of the WIPS in my writing folder. I’m on a mission! I have already finished one this year. Most importantly is to get that freaking Derek/Stiles fic finished! I’m thinking Teen Wolf will probably be the front-runner of word counts again, just in finishing that one fic. But I wonder what new fandoms will strike my fancy during 2014. Anyways, that’s 2013...onto the next!

James Marsters was on this week’s Wedding Band!! It was a kick-ass surprise, for damn sure. Wedding Band doesn’t list its guest stars, so even though James is in my Tivo lineup and I should get alerted to any shows he will be on, he didn’t pop for Wedding Band. So imagine my delight when the band was all gushing over some rock star that they fanboy, only to find out it was James! He was playing this washed up old rock n roll legend - had the British accent, leather vest, 80s scarfy things and the skin tight pants. His hair was a little longer too. I just love how curly his hair gets when he grows it out.

At the end, he sang and played the guitar alongside The Notorious B.A.G. (that’s Brian Austin Green, or so we call him around this house). Anyways, it was AWESOME.

They get some pretty good guest stars on that show. Kurtwood Smith was a nice surprise and Donald Faison was even better - (side note: I just found out Donald is going to be in Kick-Ass 2! I am a little nervous about them making a sequel but it gets bonus points for casting Donald) - but nothing tops a James Marsters guest-star. NOTHING.

In other TV news, since I’m here - who has been watching Once Upon A Time? ( Not spoilery but cut anyway. )

That is all.
