Yep. That’s right! I finished the rough draft of book one last night :D. WOOHOO!!!!! Day 24: 11297 words Total: 54238 words So today I’m working on book 2 for a bit. Am nearly a thousand words into it already and LOVING my heroine! Didn’t know a thing about her till now and loving her spunk! Did a bit of reading today, too. That’s always nice :). But now time to write a bit while Read more
I ended up at Panera again today and had a productive day overall. My 11yo was with me for a while and she wrote close to a thousand words. I wrote just over 8K so far, putting me over 50K total [the numbers below reflect the end of the day yesterday]. I’m hoping for a 10K day today still, but not sure yet. I’m almost done with the manuscript too – at least this draft Read more
/sigh/ I forgot to blog yesterday. I knew I should have set a reminder on my phone :p. Ah well. I had a good day. And I did have time to blog but such is life. We had cinnamon rolls [that I didn’t have to make ;)] for breakfast. Turkey dinner with all the fixin’s for lunch [though we just make turkey breast since none of us eat dark meat really]. Took “real Thanksgiving food” to Read more
My sister has been over for a good portion of the day baking. Some kind of apple/cranberry pie. Candied fruit in chocolate. Biscoti of some sort. Reese’s peanut butter mini cup peanut butter cookies. Me? Most of my stuff will come tomorrow. I’m responsible for dinner itself. Mostly. I’m also exhausted. Again. Not sure what the deal with that is. Day 20: 1068 words Total: 41046 Looking like I won’t get too many more in Read more
Well, not the actual day but the day it was announced. So very happy for her! But it seems like just yesterday she was this little girl: Well, the bigger of those two little girls. She was one of our flower girls and now she’s going to get married. How time flies… By the way, as I write this, I’m completely ignoring how fast my own children are growing and pretending they’ll stay kids forever. Read more
Because I’m watching Castle and he says that. I love Castle. And I love Castle and Beckett. Today’s seen major progress in several areas though not as much in the word count area. Not a bad day so far but hoping for a bit more progress before bedtime. And remembering I need to update the counters. Oops. Day 18: 2069 words Total: 37215 words Back to work.
I did it!!!!!!!!!!! I hit 10,000 words yesterday!!!!!!!! Barely, but that’s all that matters ;). I also quit about eleven so I probably could have gone on a bit longer but my brain was fried. And it still is. It’s not uncommon for me the day after a big day like that to have a “small” day. Today hasn’t been nearly as small as some days [like that whoppin’ 34 earlier this week], but I Read more
This is a blog post for the sole purpose of posting a blog post. Because I’m trying to do the whole “blog every day for a month” thing. I spent most of the day at Panera, writing like the wind. I’m at my sister’s house right now to let her dogs out for a bit [she’s at my house and it’s on my way home]. But she did like a deep clean today or something Read more
Today I gave a test for a friend. It went fine. But I got to see some of the secretaries I never see since I started teaching out at the other campus a couple years ago. That was super nice. Then I went to give the test. The last time I was in this room… my water broke ;). Seven and a half years ago, my precious Emily arrived. But yes. I was teaching and Read more
Yep. This post, when it posts, will be my 1000th Tweet. Interesting. But kind of sad too because in recent months [read: 6 months or more] all I’ve done on Twitter is feed my blog into it. Very sad. But still cool that this will be Tweet 1000. So yesterday got some words. Not enough. Today’s word count is patheticness so far. Hope to get a few in but doubt I’ll get much. Tonight my Read more
