Nano count: 20,086 words Happy Veterans Day to all service people living and beyond. You cannot know just how much your sacrifices and your service means to the rest of us. Thank you. A nice day yesterday. I’m still waiting for an expected project to roll in, so I had time to work on Nano….
My Nano No-Nos
Nano count: 17,194 words A great day yesterday. Once the first Someone With Tools left, I was able to get a lot of writing in for Nano. The second SWT never showed, so I had ample time to get my thoughts down. I’m relishing this short-lived free time. My word count doesn’t necessarily reflect the…
After You
Nano count: 13,386 words Despite my plan to spend all of yesterday on Nano, I had to go out of the house twice. I’d bought something that had to be returned that day or I lost my chance to do so. Then I had to send the large project back, so a trip to the…
Carving Out Biz Time
Nano count: Still 10,001 words Very long day yesterday, but I accomplished two of my three goals. I had time-sensitive projects that had to go out ASAP, so they took priority over even my personal writing. Nano suffered. But since Nano doesn’t pay the bills, I made that sacrifice without any reservation. Besides, I have…
Morning Quarterbacking
Nano count: 10,001 Wow, that weekend went by quickly. I spent a bit of it working. I have a large project in that is time-sensitive, and I took it on knowing the weekend was going to be sacrificed to some extent. I’m glad I spent those few hours on the project – I think I…
Link Love Friday
Nano word count: 7,555 After spending a nice lunch wishing a good writing chum happy birthday (hey, Bob!), I landed back in this chair close to 3:30 yesterday afternoon. I have two pressing deadlines, one of which is about to arrive via Fedex and the other I’ve had enough time to read through once and…
Many Irons, Fires are Starting
Nano count, Day two: 5,126 words I decided to keep track of Nano work right here. I’m accountable for everything else monthly, why not Nano daily? Feel free to post your own writing results here during this month (or any month, for that matter). I had a good day yesterday. I met with a prospective…
Trending
If it could get in my way yesterday, it did. I sat down at seven am to get my NanoWriMo writing done. By nine it was obvious that wasn’t happening. I was interrupted six times, then the phone started ringing. Sorry Mom, I have to go. Then some banking and other essential errands at noon….
Monthly Assessment: October 2011
Why did I think I’d get a thing done yesterday? I had a scheduled MRI in the morning. There went the morning. Then I had a few small issues to clear up, plus contract odds and ends to finalize, and some insurance-related documents to dig out. By the time I looked up, it was 4…
Freakishness and Weekends
That was weird. I could smell it on Friday. Any of you who are used to impending snow storms coming know what I’m talking about. The air becomes heavy, static, and the sun has troubles cutting through…haze? What is that? It’s a storm coming, and if you’re paying attention, you’ll know about it a full…
