I had a really slow day until this evening, then the words just took off. I managed to meet my Backwards NaNo goal of 23,447 — exceed it, in fact. I fell short of the daily goal by about 500 words, but I was ahead on cumulative, so I’m still … Continue reading →
I’m ahead of my goal, even though I got minimum words today. Two very sad stories today. One moreso than the other. I got the sadder one written and am working on the morally sad one now. My goal was to be at 20,920 words today, so 21, 188 is … Continue reading →
Little Orange 2 (I think I’ll call him Peaches) has been sitting in the side yard all afternoon. He’s been fascinated with something in the roll of fencing (which is horribly overgrown with weeds). He started on that brown spot on the other side of the blocks, facing the … Continue reading →
A very productive writing day. Maybelle had her calf. Josh had his first Tee-Ball game (he got a hit!), Connie, Sherry, and Josh all got enrolled in the summer reading program, and Brandy ran into high school friend Ruby at the Tee-Ball game — Ruby’s daughter, April, is on the … Continue reading →
I only got 1687 words today, and about 150 of those were after midnight, so on the NaNo site, they count against tomorrow. I didn’t hit my backwards NaNo goal of 2872 for the day, but I am about 2,000 words ahead. In other news, we got the new chat … Continue reading →

Continue reading →A much slower day today. But I managed to exceed the NaNo daily recommended minimum by one word with 1668 words today. My cumulative backwards NaNo goal for today was 9663 words, which I have comfortably exceeded. Tomorrow’s daily goal is 2986 words and a cumulative of 12649.
Continue reading →This is adding up fairly quickly. That’s partially due to the repetitive nature of the story. The six girls are in one place, and I’m reporting first person for one of the game and third for the other five. I have to repeat the conversations, so I copy and paste. … Continue reading →
As with last year, I’m doing Backwards NaNo — The Reward System. It frontloads the word count. The first day is the “worst” and every day you need a few fewer words to meet your goal. Last year, there was about a week in the middle where I was behind … Continue reading →
Last week, I was pretty excited about a feral kitten who had appeared at the house — presumably offspring from the two cats who live across the street. She was a gorgeous calico-like kitten, about two months old or a couple of weeks older, I would guess. She was very … Continue reading →
