9 Days To Go!
Can't believe we're in the home stretch! The good news is that I still believe that I'm going to reach the goal. All I'll need is my handy dandy laptop and some quiet time at my mom's house and voila! And the good news is that this story is going to run well over 50K. Now I'm not sure whether, for this challenge, the story actually has to end or if just reaching 50k is enough. I'm hoping the later though I've done both in the past. I just have way too much more left to write to make it end so soon.

I know, if someone reads the story right now there are things that won't make sense, like why does the heroine suddenly have a five year old who appears at lunch one day, or why did her infant daughter have surgery already at the beginning of the story but later she's months away from having that surgery? It's okay, things are getting dropped and picked up along the way as I see what works and what doesn't. It'll be time Nov 30th to clean that mess up.

My poor son kept me from having to go to that meeting yesterday. His belly hurt and his temp was up over 102. We had a peaceful night though, so I think he' s over the worst of it. I didn't mind missing the meeting. All it is is numbers, how the company is doing financially. I'll hear all about it later. Maybe I won't want to. I did get to go into the "city". Bought my DD #2 a new winter jacket and almost choked at the price. I've never bought myself a 119.00 jacket (on sale, down from 200.00) but it's a good name and it'll last for a long time. Why she had to get powder blue, I dont' know. It'll be in the wash a lot. Now just two more jackets to buy.

Okay, back to Nano. Yesterday, due to sick kids and trips to the city, I only got 778 words written. But currently my word count is 41369. So, that leaves 8631 words left to write. That means 959 words a day. Weekends are a little hard, but I can make it up during the week.

I still say piece o' cake!

BOOK TRAILER!!!!
I'm so excited!! I have my very first book trailer for Sweet Forever.



Thank you so much Marianne and Judy at Goddess Fish Promotions. I absolutely love it!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In other news, yesterday was another washout of a writing day. I got a few hundred words written but most of my day was dedicated to running kids around, doing laundry and making cookies.

Did I mention how much I hate baking? And now I have to make Whoopie Pies to replace the inedible ones my SD made. Not that she did a bad job, but we discovered too late that there was a problem with the shortening. What a waste.

But I still won't worry. I'm almost to 40K and I'm feeling pretty good about finishing. Of course, I could be setting myself up for a fall.

How did it get to be 5:30am so quickly? Of course I could've gotten more writing done this morning if my DH hadn't been so chatty. Yesterday I hid out in the dark dining room, but this time he was there. Talked winter jackets and other mundane things until he wandered off to bed at nearly 5am.

So much for that hour of quiet that I so desperately need in the morning.

Now I have to get ready for work.

Oh, word count is 38615, which means 11385 words left over 12 days. 949 words per day to complete the task.
I'm still saying piece o' cake!!

20 Days...



There are 20 days left of NaNo. I'm psyched. I really want to finish my 50k THIS week. I've got so many ideas for this story, it could go on longer, but I think when I reach my goal I'll get back to some old projects.


Well, I got shot down by Agent #2. She wasn't excited enough about the premise of my story. Gack. Okay, so I need to do a complete rewrite of my query and synopsis and try try again. It's okay. I was bummed at first, but now I lo0k at it as a challenge. Maybe I need some other stories under my belt, some other published stories under my belt first. Easier said than done. I hate to think that I worked so long on Dreamer's Sea and not have it see the light of day.


It's okay.


I was able to get lots of writing done yesterday, went over my goal of 25K even when I had to do laundry, grocery shop, oh, and DH was home sick. He got a flu shot on Thursday and immediately got the flu. Does this make sense??


Kids are home from school today for Veterans Day but I must go to work. Early if I can. It's nice to have a peaceful morning. And I don't have to do dishes. Double bonus.
Word count-26889. So that leaves 23111 words left. 1156 words per day. Hey, it's getting easier. Knock on wood.....
