I finished Chapter 25 of Last Rites today, and made myself cry. The entire end of this book is making me very emotional. *sniff* Gotta get through it, though. Between homework and work tomorrow, i didn’t have time to work on the sekrit project, but I did work on Rites, and I put Word on …

(metrics) Day 27, and more secrets
Posted on November 27, 2010
Secret project, that is. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and blew nearly through the first part tonight in about an hour. 30 minutes of writing, and over 1k! I really do well when I have the right mindset. And that’s what this 365 days of writing is all about, the right mindset. …
(metrics) a day behind…
Posted on November 27, 2010
I wrote last night, but it was on the big computer, so I had to wait until I got downstairs to post them. Trust me, otherwise it screws my numbers up. Taking a few days off from Last Rites to work on something new. Something fun. Something you might see kind of soon. Starting Count: …
(personal) The Day After Thanksgiving
Posted on November 26, 2010
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday! I spent the day with 4 generations of my family: my grandmother, who is 94, my parents, my sibs and husband and sister’s boyfriend, and my niece, who is 4. It was awesome, and noisy, and fun, and totally what I needed. I did no writing …
(metrics) Day 24 – more NaNo and more words
Posted on November 24, 2010
Today was another hard day writing. I think I’m beginning to burn out: on this book, on NaNo, and on life in general. But I’m still writing, even if it’s just 300 words at a time. I can do this. I’ll work through it. Really. Really. Starting Count: 92114 Ending Count: 92510 Net Gain: +396 …
(metrics) Day 23 – just a day later.
Posted on November 24, 2010
Yep, wrote longhand last night – couldn’t face my keyboard. I think I’m starting to hit that end of book-itis that Nobilis Reed was talking about on Twitter this morning. It could also be that I’m tired and stressed – ah well, it’s a first world problem. 😛 I did write before I dropped off …
(metrics) Day 22, back to morning pages and NaNo
Posted on November 22, 2010
Yes, I’m still on track! I knew I wouldn’t hit 50k this month, and I’m okay with that. I’m writing every day, and I’m slowly inching forward on this novel. And let’s be honest: I’m never going to be the type of writer that can do Lowells in a day. I’m just not. But I …
(metrics) Day 21 – no NaNo, but words on a new project
Posted on November 21, 2010
Not a lot of writing today, as I was fighting with the website and then doing some audio work I’d promised folks. Then, it was realization that eek, December is in 9 days! NINE Days! EEEK! So I started the work that I should have started oh, a month ago, for a special treat for …
(testing) One, two, three
Posted on November 21, 2010
This is a test, to make sure I haven’t screwed anything up. 😀 Mostly, just to make sure I reset everything, so it crossposts and talks to Twitter again. Move along, these aren’t the droids you’re looking for…. Okay, okay, maybe one picture…here’s what my street is supposed to look like this winter:
