Edith, Charmaine, Jane and Angelina...

...want to know why the Nag Sisters have not updated their goals or posted new ones for the week of September 16. And they have the nerve to criticize the Muses for not doing their jobs! They are probably both engaged in some slothful and hedonistic activities, rather than acting like the professional writers they pretend to be.

Okay, okay..... as soon as I finish this stuff..... yum, slurp........ mmmm. Charmaine, eat your heart out. This chocolate is unreal! And Edith, you'd love these nuts and berries.... drool. Now where's that cup of hot chocolate. Perfect on this cool Fall day. Maybe I'll give myself a little foot soak first, while I think about all those goals. What color should I use to write 'em down? That's important. And do I really want to write in that neat little notebook?? Let me ponder that with a few..... hmmm. Oh! Gingersnaps! A perfect chocolate foil! Mmmmmm. Maybe I'll call Ann and do a little brainstorming. Who the hell are Jane and Angelina??

Last sighted in a Whirlwind of her own making


Hey! How are you, Nag Sister?
Yesterday was the "First Page: How to Write a Killer Opening for your Novel" (or some such) workshop for which I was coordinator/registrar/organizer/chief bottle washer.... you get the idea. It went VERY well. Am just finishing "thank you" notes to presenters. Wednesday I go to Colorado (!yes! your state!) to check in on an aunt that's .... well, I just think I'd better check on her ... and Boulder family and then the Colorado Gold conference where I'm to present a session on researching for setting (ACK! URK! ask me... have I thought about this at all in the past couple of months????). No time to head to Leadville or get down to Colo Springs, alas! :-( It's a real whirlwind trip
ALLLLSOOOO: Got an email from the Press .... "where's the 100 pages you promised us?" ... (ACK! URK!) Somehow, I will write 30 pages like a fiend (it can be rough, thank goodness) and reach that 100 page mark end of next week, from hotel rooms, relative abodes, airports, etc. May panic accomplish what good intentions did not.
How are YOU???
Shall I send your goodie box yet??? Is it non-melting weather, or....???

Dani's Writing Goals - BIW Sept 10-16

I signed up for a mere twenty pages this time. I haven't written or walked at all. Haven't felt very well, and yesterday I think I passed a kidney stone! Which might explain lots. Anyway, I'm feeling a little run-down, so will lay off the stress for a while. Not to mention foods. Have a cup of BIC HOK TAM cranberry juice with me!

How about you?? Are you back from New York? Did you write anything?? You're certainly piling on the miles! How is Inez doing?
Okay so... the goals:
Writing - 20 pages
Monday - Z
Tuesday - Z
Wednesday - Z
Thursday - Z
Friday - 5
Saturday - 2
Sunday - 7
Total - 14 pages

Walking/Exercise - yoga daily and 3 miles for the week
Monday - 1.o
Tuesday - 1.0
Wednesday - 1.o
Thursday - 1.0
Friday - z
Saturday - z
Sunday - z
Total - 4.o miles but only the occasional yoga stretches, no extended sessions.

Have been spinning and have made my own two-ply yarn!
Lots of spinning - does that count as exercise??
