My husband got a hot sauce variety set for Christmas (from yours truly, so you know who's really to blame.)

He decided we should try the "pineapple ghost pepper" on the fish tonight.

Anyone have a fire hose? *Rain*
Some of those novelty hot sauces are so good. My brother got me a pickle hot sauce once and it was one of my favorites
         Please, do use due caution with such 'flavour enhancers.' We have a friend who has accidentally sent himself to the ER on more than one occasion with severe gastric issues caused by hot pepper sauce. On at least one such occasion, he was hospitalized for a few days.

BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author Icon - I think I forgot to declare I was doing the sprint. *Think* Sorry!
SpiderGal Author Icon - No worries! It got you writing, didn't it? *Bigsmile*
This just might be something that would help me. Thanks!!
You know that moment when you realize you've been passively procrastinating for a few hours, so you make a deliberate choice to actively procrastinate? Yep, that's where I am.
I set my phaser to stun, and I have been staring into space for about an hour.
SpiderGal Author Icon - I feel that!
Wow, it's like you've read my mind; I was just thinking about doing that. But I changed my mind, figuring I have plenty of time to actively procrastinate later.

You know you want to.


 


I forgot to post this the day after it happened. I didn't want to give any words away at the time. But in case you wondered, this is what happens if you start Word Train before midnight and finish after. I didn't get a shot of what it looked like when the previous day's 5 boxes said P O O L _. I was baffled until I realized I'd spanned midnight. I reloaded, and my green words were stuck for the rest of the day.
BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author Icon - It's part of my process. It's a quasi move fast and break things, usually without the "breaking" things - just some things not fully worked out.

I currently have 4 or 5 minor/major WDC projects underway and I tend to rotate through them and release, then refine.

For this one, I hadn't really decided how I wanted to handle it. But the right course is to put a countdown time at the top by the date ... and then just actually expire the view when the countdown (the day) has expired.

I'll have that update out soon. It was really just a matter of deciding what to do. Some days more decision fatigue than others. *Wink*
The StoryMaster Author Icon - I feel that, especially when none of the answers are quite exactly what you're looking for. Luckily, we are an impatient lot. *Bigsmile* Wait. Something about that feels backwards. *Laugh*
BrandiwynšŸŽ¶ Author Icon - The fix on this is in place. *Thumbsup*
I've added a new entry to my book, "La Bene Vita" :
         "Parkinson's Disease - Spring 2026" 

Have writing goals today?
Need motivation to get started?

Want to join, but not sure how it works or what you have to do? It's easier than you might think:

1. Open this forum post and reply to it, declaring your intent to join a sprint: "15:45, 16:30, 16:45 minis?"  

2. A few minutes before the designated sprint time, prepare your writing space and a 15-minute timer.

3. At the designated sprint time, start your timer and WRITE without stopping. Worry about editing later.

4. When the timer goes off, reply to "15:45, 16:30, 16:45 minis?"   again and announce your final word count.

The writer with the highest word count wins the sprint. Everybody wins because they all wrote words. *Bigsmile*
