NaNo Day 5: 8381
That’s so far. It’s early yet, but my word count is on track for the month. I’ve even found a few paragraphs where I don’t hate this story — or at least my writing of it. LOL.

Off to a good start. 1325 words so far, and it’s early today. I’m going to have to bring my power cord to the coffee shop, though. I’m not getting as many hours as I used to from the battery. My battery is crashing fast.

Less than three days before NaNo kicks off. I’m trying a new genre and will be operating mostly without internet while writing for the first time. In theory, this should be a good thing, right? Less distraction. But I’ll have to “make stuff up” more often. I won’t have that … Continue reading →
Wisconsin Update
I arrived safely in Wisconsin on Thursday. Dad is doing very well — the usual discomfort after having a knee replaced, but he’s at home and moving about as needed on crutches. My cellular modem stick can connect at the house (at a whopping 237k). But, since it doesn’t even … Continue reading →
Sunday Musings

I switched off wireless, and … Continue reading →

Thursday, we plan to arrive home in Central Texas to download and upload stuff we need to take on to San Antonio. On Tuesday, I head out to Wisconsin to help my folks for possibly a … Continue reading →
Book Advertising
Every once inawhile I see an ad for a book on television. I’ve also heard book advertising on Glenn Beck‘s radio program. In fact, I think I’ve heard him advertising three books at a time lately. Out of curiousity, I checked his website, and, if you scroll to the bottom … Continue reading →
Yuengling Brewery Tour
We stopped in Pottsville, PA, yesterday on the way back to PA, and took a tour of the oldest and third largest brewery in the USA — Yuengling. My current favorite beer is Yuengling Black and Tan ( a 60/40 mix of Yuengling’s Porter and Premium), so after the tour, … Continue reading →
Lost Comment
If someone left a legit comment in the last two days and it’s not posted, please re-post. I was clearing Spam from Akismet tonight, and after I hit “Delete” but before it refreshed the screen, I saw there was (1) Comment along with a bunch of Trackbacks (which is what … Continue reading →
