Official
Sunday, November 25th, 2007As of a few minutes ago, I’m an official 2007 Nanowrimo winner - though I actually hit the 50,000-word mark back on Wednesday night. I’m going to continue working on this project for the rest of the week because I’d like to finish this first draft before December 1st.
I’d also like to send my […]
A Day of Thanks
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007May your day be restful, your dinner plentiful, and your family time joyous. Remember the brave men and women of our military and their families. Help the less fortunate whenever possible. And don’t forget to be thankful for all the little things that make life so special.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh Happy Day
Monday, November 19th, 2007The last couple days have been pretty good. I’ve managed to exercise, eat pretty well (even when I went out), and I’m close to reaching the 50,000-mark for Nanowrimo…more than a week before the end of the challenge. Best of all, Thursday is Thanksgiving and Santa’s appearance at the end of the Macy’s parade is […]
Another Weekend
Friday, November 16th, 2007Why do short work weeks always seem to be busier than normal ones? My job can be pretty quiet for weeks on end, but this week I hand a pretty constant stream of requests to handle. Some of them were pretty interesting and unexpected, but I wasn’t really in the mood to do much more […]
An Ordinary Day
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007The Tuesday after a three-day weekend is not easy, but is often more like a Monday times two. My day started out with me deciding I’d rather not wake up with my alarm (until I realized that it was a work day), I spent a majority of my time at the office half-asleep, and I […]
A Good Day
Thursday, November 8th, 2007After having a much better night’s sleep, I felt much better today and managed to get quite a bit done. Work was busy so the day went quick. I did manage to take my two breaks and walk about 1 1/2 miles, I went to the gym this evening and did another five miles on […]
Good Day, Bad Day
Wednesday, November 7th, 2007Today was a little rough because my sleep disturbed by a couple nightmares and I also started feeling somewhat sick at work this afternoon. Still, I’ve managed to hit the 19,000-word mark the first draft of my Nano romance manuscript. I also managed to get out for a couple ten-minute walk breaks during […]
Twice in One Day
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007Yes, I’m procrastinating again instead of working on Nanowrimo project, but I’ll get back to that in just a few minutes. I just had to write a quick post to say that I managed a ten-minute walk break today, another 5.13 miles on the recumbent bike at the gym this evening (that’s two days straight […]
A Quick Update
Tuesday, November 6th, 2007This morning, I passed the 12,000 word mark for Nanowrimo. The writing is going fairly well and we aren’t even a week into the month yet. This is probably the most work I’ve done early in the month than ever before and I really think the preparatory outline and research have helped a lot. A […]
Write Now
Saturday, November 3rd, 2007November has arrived and the majority of the members of our household are participating in that annual madness known as Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month). For those of you who aren’t familiar with this event, people who enjoy writing sit down and attempt to create a 50,000-word (or more) manuscript over the course of […]
