Deadlines and Stuff
1:16 PM | 
Posted by
Lola Sharp |
Yeah, I know. The A to Z challenge. I made it to 'B' and then things got cuh-ray-zay busy.
C is for CRAZY, Calm, Catching up, CPs... and CUPCAKES!
D is for Dropout.
D is also for Deadline...and I haz one.
(Thus my need to 'dropout' of the challenge)
But because I refuse to be a total and complete fail and because I like to finish-ish what I start, BEHOLD, I give you the rest(ish) of the alphabet in one post!
E is for
and Eric!
F is for Firefly...
G is for Gargoyle (love this book...what a debut)
and Gilmore Girls
H is for Hogwarts
I is for Inspiration
J and W is for Joss Whedon
K is for Killer Kitten
L is for Logan...
and Love and Literature
M is Music (and Magnificent Manuscripts)
N is for New Notebooks and Perfect Pens!
O is for Overtired and Overworked...thus, you don't mind that I'm going to be skipping some letters soon, right? Good. *phew*
P is for Pretty Prose
S is for Spike
V is for Veronica Mars
and sexy Vampires and Vampire Slayers
Z if for Zombie parts art
Okay, I'm going to be holed up for a little while...writing writing writing.
In the meantime, tell me...
How are YOU?
How is your writing going?
Love,
Lola

About Me
- Lola Sharp
- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

Killer Kitten! That one cracked me up!! Good luck with your deadline, sweetie. Thinking of you!!
Wow, a deadline sounds like a tiring, but good thing!!! BTW, I love that pic of the kitten with the gun. Too funny.
Loved this list, Lola. You always do something amazing. I'm thinking positive thoughts for your writing deadline. You can do it, girl.
That was awsome! Good luck with your deadline; I have a few myself...I do not know what I was thinking!

I LOVE the killer kitten, and Spike, and far too many other things on this list! I knew I'd be getting in over my head if I tried the A-Z thing, so I just stalk everyone else's posts instead!
ahh, so does this mean you're gone for the month? Things are D for decision time over here, and naturally I'm doing much hand-wringing. But we'll get through it!
Good luck w/your work! See you soon~ <3
Love, love your alphabet. Every. Single. Letter. Sorry you are dropping out, but I wish you huge success with your manuscript and I'll come back visit here as often as I can. I'm a rather new follower and love your writing style and the way you think. Best of Luck, my fellow writer. :)
Aww... good luck with the deadline :) I'm behind on the challenge too, but I'm trying to catch up today. But I like your approach!
As always the most perfect post Ever. Loved that you went through the whole (almost) alphabet in one swoop! Love it Love it Love it. Joss Whedon, Firefly, Killer Kitten. Perfection.
oh Logan...i miss you so.
HA! Very nice, very nice *applauds* That deadline picture is going to give me nightmares, but the Gilmore Girls picture might cancel it out (I love GG) :)
You win a prize for fastest A to Zer. See you next time!
Nice job! I understand being too busy, especially with looming deadlines.
Me, I'm drafting my new project, waiting for my agent to tell me what needs work on my old project, and very slowly freaking out about how few hours there are in the day.
Good luck with your writing, Lola!
XOXO

You can send the letter "E" to me any day ;-) I love Eric. God, what a beautiful man. '

I like your taste in tv
The demon eating the clock is beyond awesome! That's how I feel right about now in regards to my self-induced deadline. However, your picture of Spike has made it all better. Umm humm!
Ha ha ha! I LOVE the killer kitten! Way to go, Lola! :-)
Beautiful photos as always. Good luck with your writing, dear!
And you had me at E is for ERIC!
Ha! The whole lot in one go. That's fantastic and I adore the Zombie parts! Good luck with the deadline.
Love it! Hearing you on the crazy bit too. ;-)
Nice way to prioritize!
I'm back on the writing wagon, finally, after a hiatus of about four months. The baby is finally sleeping through the night, and I am dredging time out from places unpronounceable.
- Eric
LOL! Hey, you didn't drop out. You just got it all done ahead of time. You rock. :)
What a brilliant A-Z post!! You should win this hands down (if it were a competition!!) Loved it!! Brilliant!!!!
A special Yay for Killer Kitten!! LOL!!
Good luck with your revisions and deadline!!! You can do this!! Take care

FIREFLY!!!!!!
Veronica Mars was a great show. It's too bad they didn't just keep it a standalone show instead of trying to make it a huge story. I think if they had done that it would still be going. Things are going great my blog is growing and I enjoy the topic I have decided on. Using Psychology to understand our characters.
Lola this is excellent. I just loved the killer kitten. Too funny. Good luck with the deadline. :)
Good luck with the writing and the deadline.
I'm working on a query--I think I'm on version #12. Either I will nail this evil thing or it will kill me. Right now, I'm hoping the later will happen soon.
Ahh, cheater cheater pumpkin eater! I approve.
This totally counts as win in my books!! I thought Firefly would be my favourite because, well obviously - it's Firefly!!! - but that Killer Kitten totally cracked me up! :)
Good luck with the writing!
Way to get your challenge in. Good luck on your deadline.
I'm loving H, I, and L.
I hope life calms down for you soon. Good luck with your deadline. : )
These are great. Fun that you got them all done at once. I am a late addition to the challenge, and taking it for a spin on the naughty side of inspiration. Check it out if you have time.

Fantastic post!
Ethereal is such a wonderful word to not only pronounce, but to make your friends go...damn my boy/girl's wicked smart (in the Casey Affleck-thick Boston accent a la Good Will Hunting way)!
And good luck with your deadline!
Aw, good luck with the deadline. Man, oh man. I miss Logan. Must find desktop picture now.
Oh, yeah and the writing's going mediocre.
How clever you are! I loved Gargoyle and so did the friend I lent it to. The list you put up is fabulous, too.
How's my writing going? Well, today I actually managed to get a great deal of outlining done. I learned the value of this from nano, yay!
Good luck with the writing and the deadline. I hope there's not a monster on your clock :)
Ooh, I'm about 6 chapters in to The Gargoyle right now and am loving it! I think this still counts as participation in the challenge. ;)
I love firefly!!!! Great post!
That Killer Kitten was a hoot. And, thanks for the Eric Eye Candy. Good luck with your deadline.
You had me at Spike...
Mmmmm, I spy Buffy!
A decade later and I still get chills:)
That was great! Have fun writing!
Mmm, I love new notebooks and perfect pens; somehow they make me want to write more. I also love that picture of Eric, and I don't even watch True Blood. :)
Funny how much your list looks so much like my own.
Good luck with your deadline...
Oooh, AWESOME list :) Love all the Joss Whedon-related stuff :)
the kitten using a toy star to prop up its snipe? omgomgomg
Whew, Lola that's quite an accomplishment. You finished the entire blogfest (we'll totes ignore the skipped letters) in ONE post.
I'm in the middle of a Gilmore Girls S7 marathon now so I'm like "awwwww."
And I love that dropout quote - I actually like Matt Damon and Bill Gates for being dropouts of my alma mater.
Too funny! I will watch Firefly some day. And I love Logan. That's all.
Love your ABC's! Some really great ones in there. :) Enjoy your writing!!
HOGWARTS! How happy that it made the list... I is a happy camper!
Lola my sweets you are too sweet!!!
Happy Deadlines!
Funny - but at least you're not a beauty school dropout.
My writing is stagnating and need to get back to writing, writing writing myself!
A very entertaining list....:)I am doing great, thank you very much...my writing, I'm afraid not all that great...procrastination is catching up with me, I'm afraid...:(
OMG! Kitten Killer!!!
So funny!
Unfortunately, all the writing I will be doing is for school! A paper due each week until the first week of May. :/
There are SO MANY things on this list that I love, I almost can't take it. Eric! Logan! Gilmore Girls! Gah!
Deadlines, don’t you just love them! I’ve set myself one to have the first draft of Tangled, my novel-in-progress, finished by Thursday 21 April (two weeks today!). I’m definitely on track, might even finish a week early!
Best of luck with meeting your deadlines! :)
Anyone who loves Firefly, Spike and Joss Whedon is followed by me. Love it totatlly.

Good luck with your writing.
This is great! That kitten made me laugh out loud!
Lola, you're the best. Honestly, those challenges sometimes put me off reading everybody's blogs so I'm glad you stuck it all in one for us. Also glad you are writing and sticking to your guns (kitty killer...too funny).
aww killer kitten hehehe besty luck with your writing :)
Great tour through the alphabet! And that kitty is scary!
Good luck meeting your deadline. And fun tour though the alphabet. :)
I had something witty I was going to say, but lost it at Eric and Spike. ;)
I LOVE the name of your blog, as I chose Sharp as my writing name since Dull is my real one!!
Hahaha - and there's the month, done in a blink. :)
Hope you beat your deadline - good luck!
Yep, you got'er done. I loved Gargoyle too. What a fantastic book. I couldn't put it down. Fantastic. I couldn't do the challenge either, I knew I would fail! Great post! :)
Well done! Clearly you know how to handle a deadline. Knock 'em dead!
Love V-Mars, Firefly, and Gilmore Girls. I think you might be my twin. ;-)
Hehe. Way to wrap up the whole challenget at once! :D Love all the images. Especially Gilmore Girls and Hogwarts! <3
Good luck with the holing up!
Hahah, Killer Kitten totally made my night. Hilarious!! And my favorite is probably Inspiration -- what a great photo!
Best of luck with your deadline! :)

I'm saving your deadline picture to use sometime. It's so perfect! I like your list. I just bought season one and two of Veronica Mars and am slowly making my way through them. I adore that show.

Good luck... I know you'll do great. Thx for all your support, and advice.
It looks like you had a lot of fun with that alphabet. Thanks for sharing with us!
I'm starting up a 'Critiquing Crusaders' program, where participants in the Second Crusade can find other writers to exchange critiques with or form critiquing circles. If you're interested, come by The Kelworth Files to check it out!
Wow, the whole alphabet in one post. How clever. Nice "meeting" you on the challelnge, Lola.

Zombie parts art is my fav!

Hey lola,
hope you got to meet your deadline. This was a really smart way of getting through the A-Z. It has been crazy so to speak and I'm feeling a little like your killer kitten.:)

Fun post--I enjoyed your C-Z alphabet! The killer kitten cracked me up. (Though I'm sure it would be scary in real life. Hee.)
Good luck with your deadline! :)
Lola, we did it! Congratulations! I have an award for you!!
Lola, leave your writing hole for a little bit to visit my blog because Elana answered your bacon question!
Nice article, thanks for the information.

Love it. The world ... uh, A-Z in a minute.
Well sometimes life gets in the way and the best laid plans lie in ruins. At least you got a few days into it, whereas some people didn't even bother.
Gilmore Girls! Hogwarts! There are so many things that I love in this post!
