NaNo Update

Word count friends: 27,335

Yup that is sweet. I am seriously running out of steam so hopefully I will get a second wind so I can finish. My goal was to reach 30,000 this weekend but this will have to do as I am very tired and my wrists are starting to hurt particularly the one that is supposed to be braced which never is ... I am asking for trouble. Not that any of the words are very good. Don't get me wrong I love my story and the characters and the world I created but sometimes you just write for the words so when this is all said and done there will be a serious amount of editing to do. I must say I am having a great time.

Thanks for the support!

I'm stuck in a box and I can't get out!



So I can't believe Sam could even fit in that box, it is perhaps two or three inches across but he stuffed himself in and then eventually got himself out (with a little help from me!)


What a funny kid!

NaNo ... NO, NO, NO!

Ok. so it is a good thing that the first weekend I was able to write so many words because this weeks has been nuts. Work is crazy right now. I think this is the first 30 second break I have taken in a week. I don't write at work anyway but usually when I get home I have enough energy to write something but in the last five days I have only written maybe 2,000 words. So this weekend I need to do some serious catch up if I want to make my goal. ... AHH .. well back to the grindstone. More to come later!

Thanks for the support!

Halloween









Halloween was way fun. We went treak-or-treating with Cache who was the cutest little 50's guy I have ever seen and two very powerful Power Rangers, Brook and Jax were awesome. Sam had so much fun he wanted to go again the next night.




Boo at the Zoo







Sam and I had another great year at Boo at the Zoo. It was really fun to have my good friend Rhea and her way cute daughter, Macy with us and I am SO glad to be back in contact with her. Can't wait to hit Chick-fil-a with out free stuff we got at the zoo!






Me a Wrimo

So the kick off of NaNoWriMo was Nov 1 and what was I worried about? Lots but this past weekend I was able to bust out 15,586 words. That is pretty darn good if I don't say so myself. Now the challege will be to keep up to momentum. I do have to say most of it is trash. I am writing to write not writing well. But there is alot of great content buried amongst the spelling errors, cliches and bad grammar. So it will be fun and challening to go back and edit come December.

Thanks for the support!
