It was weird, working this Thursday. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get used to it! I’m enjoying being home to eat with hubby, though, even if it IS hard to get up at 6:30 am every morning. Today is a writing/cooking/cleaning day. I’ve already gotten 12 kittens’ worth of words (1200 words, for those not …
(metrics) Trying to catch up on NaNoWriMo
The official NaNo counter says I’m at 15911 words, which is a bit over 9k of where I need to be. However, I’ve written over 4k today, so I’m happy, and if I can do that over the next few days, I should be able to catch up. Short post because my arm hurts. I …
(metrics) Broke 10k!
Sorry, it’s been hard to update. I’m currently at 11,107 words for NaNo, so I’ve made it over 1/5 of the way. Yay! I’ll do more words later today, and now that I know how to get a word count on the Neo (yes, it’s written on the back, and no, of course I didn’t …
(metrics/nano/writing) Day 3 of NaNoWriMo and I’m still pacing myself!
Current NaNo wordcount: 5045 To be on Target: 5001 It’s not much of a cushion, but the fact that I’ve written 5k in the last three days is amazing to me, so I’ll enjoy it. I need to catch up a bit more with my outline, so I might not get a bunch done tomorrow, …

(personal/updates) The Weekly Round-up for Sunday and NaNoWriMo thoughts
I’ve decided that a weekly round-up is a good idea, not only because it gives me a spot to post goals and toss thoughts around, but because I can be accountable to my readers. With NaNoWriMo just around the corner, being accountable is a good thing. No real to-do list for today, simply because I’m …

(to-do/health/personal/writing) The Plague, Day Six (I think)
Sadly, I’ve lost count. Ah well. Suffice to say I’m still a snot machine, but I’m mobile, I’ve done a bunch of running around already, and I’m determined to conquer both my house and my writing this weekend. I’m skipping the Strangeways Halloween party tonight (sorry folks, but you don’t want this plague, trust me) …
(to-do/personal/writing) Recovery, Day 2
Yep, came home with con crud despite my best intentions. It’s a good one too – knocked me for a loop this week, and I’m just feeling human today. Sort of. I’m going to take it easy and not do everything I was planning on, just so I don’t end up sick again. This means …
