So you think you can NaNo... Day 7, 2013

This NaNo thing really isn't so bad. I cranked out 2032 words throughout the day, plus managed to do some laundry (when boys are complaining about laundry - you know there's a problem!), edited about 5000 words, prepared some snail mail, and was only marginally distracted by my (still sick) boy watching Pirates of the Caribbean - On Stranger Tides.

Today is the end of the first week of NaNo and I'm sitting pretty at 12 450 words. I'm hoping that when it comes time to edit, they will be 12 450 usable words.

So you think you can NaNo... Day 4, 2013

I'm on target because I'm awesome like that!

Of course, I have "word wars" and "writing sprints" with Jaclyn Aurore to thank for today's success.

Distractions included, but weren't limited to:

• the refrigerator repair guy stopped in for a visit
• not one, but two boys missed their buses today, and 
• a short visit from a good friend. 

And then, there was this in the mail:

Hercules is a budgie... How he managed to send mail without using a carrier a pigeon is beyond me.

So - today's word count came to 1, 894, for a grand total of 6, 957 to date.
