You do one little drabble and suddenly Vala won't get out of your head! Also, I was trying to explain to someone that I was frowning in most of my Egypt pictures because the guys with the camel kept getting too close for comfort.

First off, happy birthday rhi_silverflame! I'm not sure if I got the right day, but then again, I'm not really keeping track of time very well with all the time zones.

Second, we spent all day in Egypt. Arrived in Alexandria first this morning, and then they loaded us onto buses for the trip to Cairo and the Giza Plateau. All told, it was something like 50 buses moving in a convoy across the desert, each one accompanied by tourist police armed with machine guns! They like their tourists and they want to make sure that it's safe for them. Then it was lunch, a trip to a controlled "safe" shopping environment, a museum and then the three-hour ride back to Alexandria and the ship.

The pyramids were awesome, and there was so much more to seeing them up close. I'm going to try to get some photos uploaded tomorrow, once I have a better connection. We also stopped at the Egyptian Museum to see the treasures of King Tut, including his funeral mask and coffins that they no longer send on traveling exhibitions. Unfortunately, there were no pictures allowed in the museum. All I can say is that when you see the picture of the funeral mask, just remember that it's bigger than it looks. The pictures never show you the back of the mask. The whole thing is so massive, and it's all made out of gold.

Which leads me to another quickie Stargate SG-1 drabble written for Mini NaNoWriMo:

ladybug218, you'll probably get a few more Daniel/Vala drabbles out of this before I'm done.

ETA: And I missed searoach's birthday too. Happy late birthday!

I'm doing mini_nanowrimo again this year. Two years ago, I had a blast with it. Last year was a lot tougher.

This time around, I'm going to be traveling for the first half of the month, so it's going to be tougher to find down-time to write. So, to keep me motivated, I'm asking for drabble prompts. Give me a fandom, a character, a pairing or a situation and I'll try to deliver a drabble. My fandoms are listed in my profile or you can ask for something with any of my RP characters.

Last day! Today's piece is a shot at original fiction coming in at 189 words.


( The check-out lane at Target was not the best place to bring up the idea of starting a family. )

135 words today, although when I cut it down to 116 words it's a bit more cohesive.

Good lord, am I done with this yet? The fiscal month of December started for us at work today and it just feels like I should be over with mini_nanowrimo, but the calendar says otherwise. Anyway, I cranked out 421 words today once I finally got off the couch after work.

Churned out another 141 words today despite having an absolutely crazy Black Friday. I'm starting to wonder if 100 words per day should be more of a regular habit.

I am exhausted. There's no way I'll get 100 words today.

Wow, I'm finally in the home stretch. There's 9 more days after today and what makes me happy at this point is seeing that I've written at least 100 words each day.

285 words today, including this SG-1 Lam/Mitchell drabble. Spoilers for season 9.
