So my friend, Jason [he used to be a paramedic – imagine that], has a birthday today. He’s /mumble/mutter/gasp/ years older than I am which makes him /mumble/mutter/gasp/ years old. I’ve known him since high school when we went to church together and his little sister was my BFF. For several years now, Jason has been my go-to guy for all things paramedic-y. Whether it’s drugging a 5yo or car vs. deer or broken arm Read more
So hubs is a Kansas City Chiefs fan. He went to a good friend’s house to watch the game And have bacon wrapped sirloin for dinner. I’m not jealous. Sigh. But the Chiefs lost. All were bummed. I was home with the kids – then writing after they went to bed. I’m finally making progress, even if that progress is carptastic at the moment. NaNoWriMo today: 2147 NaNoWriMo total: 12167 NaNoWriMo deficit:17839 NaNoWriMo WPD to Read more
Yep. That’s right. Only a week [or so] late, but I passed 10K on this new manuscript. Join me in Snoopy dancing, won’t you?!?!?! Today was my local ACFW meeting. We had a board meeting beforehand and started planning out next year officially. [Are you a writer or speaker traveling through the Springfield area the third Saturday of a month and want to meet some cool peeps? You let me know!] We had a write Read more
Sigh. Did you note the sarcasm? The second half of the title oozes it. Just FYI. I was a “building aide” today at one of the school’s in our district. It wasn’t a hard day, though I was on my feet a lot more than I usually am and they hurt :/. By the time I made an uber-fast and necessary stop at Wal-Mart, I made it home about 30 seconds AFTER the school bus. Read more
I’m so blessedly far from half done it’s pretty pathetic. BUT that other project is done and out of my hands. I’d say it’s in God’s hands now, but the reality is, it’s been there all along. I have several times set up in the next few days when I should be able to rock the word count. Right now, according to NaNoWriMo’s handy dandy calculator, I should finish right around Valentine’s Day. By the Read more
Done? Could it be?! The “other manuscript” I’ve been trying to complete is just that. COMPLETE! The proposal is done and waiting on a critter to look over one revised paragraph and then it’s good to go as well. YAY! PARTY! That means I can focus on NaNo! FINALLY! Didn’t get as much done as I’d hoped today but at least I’m ready to focus on it :). I have three lectures left to give Read more
Busy day today – working/teaching. Going through the proposal [out with a critter now who wants to look it over again tomorrow]. Freezing my fingers off. And WRITING! I’m so stinkin’ far behind it’s not even funny. According to the handy dandy little calculator thing on the NaNo website, I should finish about the end of February. February 28 to be precises, if I continue at my current rate. And by finish we mean 50K Read more
And the answer is… maybe. Almost. 😉 I think the last additions are done and they’re off to a critter to make sure there’s no glaring errors. I’m working on polishing up the proposal. So… NaNoWriMo today: 46 NaNoWriMo total: 4500 Other manuscript today: 1438 Manuscript total: 92542 The NaNo totals are pretty pathetic. I admit it. But I’m planning to take Wednesday off, build a fire [cold front, you know] and write all day. I Read more
Huge, giant shout out to all the members of our military – past and present. Beyond my thanks, you have my undying gratitude. Since my sister took the kids last night, we got to sleep in this morning. We overslept for church but had breakfast together. After that, I worked on reading through the other MS again. I finished that and went to get my hair done. I adore my hair gal but we haven’t Read more
