Writing in Public, Too: NaNoWriMo Day 30 – Finished!
Today was the final day of NaNoWriMo.
I put in the requisite 2000 words (actually 2300) I still needed to make my goal for the month. I probably could have snuck in a but more, but I had a nice, relaxing day, with several chunks of writing time in, and plenty of time to do other things between them. Click to read more...

Writing in Public, Too: Day 23 – The Writer as Student
First day back at work, so up at 5:30, showered, dressed,and out the door by about 6:30. WITH some food in my stomach, which is always a plus. Work is long, hard, and tiring. Click to read more...
Writing in Public, Too: Day 21
Didn’t wake up til around 9am. Still felt groggy and tired. Stayed in bed checking email and generally surfing the internet while feeling cruddy until around 11am. Then up, got a little housework done, fed myself and the munchkins lunch. Click to read more...
Writing in Public, Too: Day 16 – Past the halfway mark.
Technically, I think I should have written the “halfway mark” post yesterday, but I was so motivated to write the bit about motivation that it slipped my mind. (grin)
