Apparently, when you have a lot of description to write because you are figuring out how the world in your fantasy works, you can get a lot of words in. Which means...over 4,000 words yesterday! I may have also realized that we are leaving for Oklahoma on Friday, which means a 12-hour driving day (stopping… Continue reading All the Bananas and all the words

NaNo (10,280) and Life
I have gotten little done for NaNo, though I have every intention of catching up at some point. It's always hard when you have visitors.

Today felt different, mostly, I think, because I get three days in a… Continue reading Relaxation Time
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 current… Continue reading Aaand. . . counting
