In talking with one of my neighbors yesterday, I learned Big Orange is, indeed, the Mama Cat to the kittens I’ve been trying to decide if I can legitimately trap and get fixed. I thought Big Orange was the Daddy Cat, because orange kitties, according to my vet, are 75% … Continue reading →
Another fairly slow day. I did pass the half-way point, and I met my NaNo minimum word count for the day. I’ve fallen about 630 words short of my Backward NaNo goal. I did get several things done around the house today, got good work done on Forward Motion’s chat … Continue reading →

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 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 →
I knew I forgot to do something before I went to bed last night (but, due to the wonders of WordPress, I’m backdating this to keep the timeline correct). I’m up to 16,130 words, crediting today with adding 3503 words to the total.
