I know, you have all been waiting breathlessly for my next update, which – just hasn’t come. I do apologize. I hate to disappoint people who are probably checking every day, just in case. 😛 So, I haven’t updated for two reasons. 1. I haven’t been writing, so I am too ashamed to write. AndContinueContinue reading “Random Life”

Cover Art
I have reached 7,120 words! Still behind, I know – but ever so much further than I have ever gotten! So, I put together a sample cover page for the book, since Nanowrimo says you have a 60% better chance of finishing if you have a cover page. This is just a temp cover, sinceContinueContinue reading “Cover Art”
Aaand. . . counting
So I made it to 4,800 words! Not much, I confess, compared to where I should be. But, hey, for me it is really good for a week! Especially a week in which I got what is probably-my-dream-job-and-even-if-it-isn’t-is-an-awfully-big-closer-step-to-it. So, is it terrible that I have had no inspiration to do my utmost at my currentContinueContinue reading “Aaand. . . counting”
Not Really an Update But a Random Cheer
Confession: I wrote only 300 words between yesterday and today. Reason: I GOT A NEW JOB! After being in jobs I hated – or at least really disliked – for 3 years, I am finally super excited about this upcoming opportunity! So, yeah. last night just as I was sitting down to get in 2000ContinueContinue reading “Not Really an Update But a Random Cheer”
Nanowrimo Quick Update
Per my prediction, I was unable to write yesterday – though the dinner went over exceptionally well, I think. 🙂 And they brought me both flowers and wine as a hostess gift, and Daniel beer as a host gift. So sweet! But, anway, I made up for it today, with a smashing 2,200 words! IContinueContinue reading “Nanowrimo Quick Update”
National Novel Writing Month
So, for probably the 15th time in my life, I am saying it. THIS YEAR I AM DOING NANOWRIMO! Of course, I haven’t completed one yet (though my awesome friend, Abby, has), and the last five years or so, it has kind of been – I am doing it! And then to wake up one dayContinueContinue reading “National Novel Writing Month”
Counting Blessings
It is a cold, dreary day outside, and I woke with the depressed feeling of knowing it was time to trudge off to work once more, where I can expect at least four emails telling me what I did wrong this time. In case you didn’t notice, I don’t take criticism very well. I know, IContinueContinue reading “Counting Blessings”
One of those days
Today is one of those days. Where nothing seems quite right, and you are out of temper though you cannot quite describe why. I feel randomly emotional, and melancholy, and altogether have a longing for something I cannot explain. Today is one of those days. I do not want to be in a city, surroundedContinueContinue reading “One of those days”
Friendship
Food and other stuffs
So, we had company over for dinner again tonight – I know – what can I say? We love entertaining! We pulled out our good china – a wedding gift – and my great-grandparent’s silver, as we do every time we have company. We both firmly believe good china and silver is meant to beContinueContinue reading “Food and other stuffs”
