Paige Miller | 672 comments Hey! My name is Paige, but most people call me Tink. My favorite color is purple, I believe in karma, and coincidentally, today is my birthday! How weird is that?

Most of you know me, but if not- sucks for you. Guess you'll just have to get to know me. :)

GOALS FOR 2010

General Writing Goals:

-Write 250 words every day
- If I don't write 250 words every day, make them up the next day or whenever I write again
-Post on my blog somewhat frequently
-Stay away from Facebook while trying to write
-Stop slacking off!

Soulfire/Heartfire/Spirtifire Goals

-Finish editing Soulfire
-Begin sending out queries for Soulfire
-Finish Heartfire
-Begin editing Heartfire
-Begin Spiritfire and hopefully finsh it

Resolutions:

I swear to not work on any other stories, no matter how much they might tempt me, until I have finished writing my trilogy.

I swear to do my best to write something every day, not matter what.

I swear to check in to my topic more than I've been doing in Write in 2009, and to visit others and provide support.

Paige Miller | 672 comments I think that's enough goals to last me for awhile. Haha if only I had Brigid's work ethic.

Just Plain Ray (Ray_of_Sunshine) | 234 comments Hey Tink :) We meet again

Great goals, although I find straying from the writing path to other stories helps my creative gears keep turning.

Good luck, though :3

Paige Miller | 672 comments Hola, Rayanna!

I understand- and I don't mean short stories, poetry, etc. But I can't start a new novel midway through my trilogy. Soulfire and Heartfire will end up in the DEAD STORIES folder on my desktop. 0.0

Thanks! :)

Paige Miller | 672 comments Something I forgot to mention:

If anyone wants me to decorate their cubi, let me know. I'll be happy too, and I think people are pretty happy with what I've done it the past.

Haha see, so you do have a good work ethic. You just have to guilt yourself into using it.

Andrea | 469 comments Awesome goals, Tink! I can't wait to see "Heartfire" in my bookstore ;)


message 18: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 672 comments Awww Thanks Andrea. Nor can I. *_*

Sure, Andrea! What kind of theme are you going for?


message 22: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 672 comments Paige wrote: "Yes Tink, I do need your help with my decor. I am more of a dark person so I tend to like the dark colors, with plenty of chances for a cloudy day to shine through, well it wouldn't be shine then, ..."

Paige: As far as decorating, I think I understand the color scheme. What kind of furniture do you like? Modern? Antique? Just comfortable? Eclectic? Let me know, and I'll definitely help ya out.

For your cubical name... I like to do things that's use alliteration, (i.e, Tink's Terracotta Tower) or things that describe my mood at the moment (i.e, Paige's Room of Frantic Writing). Or even something simple, like Dee's Cubical, Andrea's Den, etc. Also, Roni's is fun- slightly random, a little funky, but still interesting. (It's Veronica's Asymmetrical Bubble, I believe)

It's about what you want.

Paige Miller | 672 comments With all the requests, I figured I better decorate mine before it's too late...

A study/writing room, a bathroom, a kitcheen, a lounge area, and an ideal closet. :) Let me know what you think.

E Sweetman | 9 comments Argh! the black hole of facebook! It's where my creative and free time for writing disappears--I think I'll make that a mental goal to stay away while writing.
Great goals Tink--good luck.

Elaine (caladhiel) | 64 comments Your pictures didn't show up for me, Tink. Just thought I'd let you know.


message 26: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 672 comments Dear God! They didn't show up!!!! WHY??!?!?!?

Strange? Very strange? Ridiculous, darling. You told me what you want. Fabulous. ;)

Pretty nice place, Tink. Me likey. :D

Hmmm....I like the homey, cottage-at-the beach look. Clean lines, light colors, pastels, wicker furniture. I definitely need a good, sturdy writing desk, a comfortable chair, a reading nook, bookshelves, a great view of the ocean (or other water). I guess I'm think Cape Cod beach house :)

I LOVE your place :) I will definitely be visiting often :D

Paige Miller | 672 comments Kenzie, Brigid, Annie & Elaine:

Thank you! I like it. I'm sure at some point I'll get bored with it and remodel, but for now, I enjoy it.

Andrea:
Alright, I'll get right on it! ;) Thanks! I like it too.

It's very shnazzy. :D I think I'm going to go fix mine up. The moving boxes don't look very appealing. LOL :D

message 45: by Alicen (new)

Alicen (alicenl) I was really confused about what you meant about decorating other people's cubicles...that's a fun idea! I might need that as a pick-me-up sometime.


message 46: by Paige (new)

Paige Miller | 672 comments Let me know if you want me to decorate!!! :)
