NaNo Day 25: 41,728
Still on track to finish by the 30th. I did figure out how this thing ends today. That should help.

NaNo Day 23: 38,514
Still on track, but I’m not gaining any ground yet. I’d prefer to do that. I made chicken enchiladas for the first time tonight, and I think they turned out pretty well. They were more flavorful than many I’ve eaten in restaurants. Hubby suggested I spread more picante sauce to … Continue reading →
Gift Pass
PaperBack Writer posted a list of things she doesn’t want for Christmas, then asked if there was anything we didn’t want. I answered this one, then decided I’d re-post it here, because, well, I mean it. Here’s what I said: Pretty much anything. I’m a gift-buyers nightmare, because if I … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 22: On Track
But I don’t remember exactly how many I wrote, because I did it last night before going to bed, so I could play with hubby today. We found a round rug for the dining room today. 7’11”. That’s going to cover a lot of the dining room floor! But the … Continue reading →
From the Mac Mini
It’s been a busy day in a lazy sort of way. I stayed caught up on my NaNo word count — 35,344. We got the roll top desk moved into the house from where we placed it when the movers delivered back in May. I took this opportunity to set … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 20: 33,351
Back on track through today. The writing has been uneven to say the least. There is far too much that will get cut out eventually, but much of it is background development. I’m developing an appreciation for preparatory work prior to writing. And the funny thing about that is that … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 19: 30,041
Argh. It just isn’t any fun to get behind by even a couple of days. But I knew it might happen. I also so it really won’t be that big of a deal to get caught up. I just need to keep chipping away at the word count, and it … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 18: 27240
I should be at 30k to be on track, but taking two days off doesn’t help achieve that. I should have not problem catching up over the next week or so.

I’m heading for home. Dad’s doing very well, and they agreed while they enjoyed having me there, they didn’t really NEED me any longer. I’m trying to catch up on some words before I leave the motel this morning and get on the road for home. I anticipate arriving there … Continue reading →
NaNo Day 12: 18574 (so far)
I’m struggling with conflict today. I sought assistance in the How To Think Sideways course yesterday and felt pretty good about what I was able to plan out, but I’m still fighting a tendency to drone on and on in narrative without using the characters to move the story. I … Continue reading →
