NaNo Starts TOMORROW!

Are you ready??? Am I??? Guess we'll find out! Be sure to sign in and say something about your goals on November 1!
Walked one mile today. At least that's something.

Three more days until NaNoWriMo

And I'm desperately trying to catch up and clean up and getting centered and focused. ARRRGH. I at least got the cushion to my sofa reupholstered and can only say Welting is really hard to do! Good grief.

So goals, what are they? I've been walking daily so again, one mile per day minimum through Thursday. Still working on the blog book tour guide. Goal for completion is Wednesday. Other than that, just clean up my sewing mess. I'll post goals for NaNo on Wednesday night. I have to think about how I'm going to work that.

I'd rather be doing this right now:

Forward we go ...

Walked .5 mile today.

Still dealing with sick kids around the home. ARGH!

Need to write 4 pages tomorrow (Sunday). Will report in. How about you, sister? Did you fix your couch successfully?

I'm bummed and blasted. Didn't walk or write today (unless you count this right now). Had an event in Larkspur and kidz fritzin' over homework... AUGH!
Don't know how I'm gonna do NaNo. But I will. I need to read instructions on how to post, etc. Pass over one of those couch cushions so I can smack myself in the head with it!

LOL. Better yet, I'll mail you the cushion I sat on with the big quilting pin still in it. Wow, I didn't know I could move that fast! OUCHIE!

The Goals!

Time to post new goals. No dilly-dallying around ladies! And update last week's goals, too. The whip is cracking. You have just over a week to develop some good habits in preparation for NaNoWriMo.

Love,

Prudence and Jane

One proud Nag Sister here!

CONGRATULATIONS! HIP HIP HOORAY!










THANK YOU!
a stunned Nag Sister

You look stunning. Joy is such a youthening thing. That isn't a word, is it? LOL.
It's word enough for me! I used "squelching" today to mean stepping into squishy mud...not the real meaning, but sounded good!

Ah, autumn! BIW goals for week ending 10/21

Autumn at last! Hope I see some color in the trees in Colorado when I get there Tuesday ... And here's hoping I don't end up doing all BIW and WIW (walk in a week) in the last three days of the week!

BIW Goals for Dani w/o 10/15

Okay, I'm going for 25 pages and one mile per day AND making the commitment to report results AND submit totals at completion. Insert naggy wicked grin here.

Monday - 2 pages/2 miles ! Treats for me!!
Tuesday - 3 pages/1.5 miles
Wednesday - 7 pages/2 miles Woohoo!
Thursday - 2 pages/ .5 miles Cold and windy!
Friday - 1 page out of town
Saturday - 1 page/1 miles
Sunday - 1 page/ 0 miles

Somehow my daily page count doesn't agree with BIW. Beats me.

Okay, Nag Sister, where's your commitment??

NaBloWriMo

So far so good in my daily blog posting commitment in the National Blog Writing Month contest I joined. I was desperate to get the Church Artist blog up and running for Michael. Go take a peek:

http://churchartist.blogspot.com/
Very nice indeed!
And read up at the Queen of Socks about our spinning adventures and to keep tabs on Donna D.'s Blog Book Tour.
Love it! And I recognize some of the yarn! Spinning too? WHERE do you find the time?? No kids. Very little travel.
Are you back from the Klonkike? Yes... sorta. Any mining stories you can incorporate into Inez's life? Hmmm. They pan gold on the Bering Sea beach. That's pretty cool. Did you buy some qiviut?? Noooo... didn't even see any!

Wahoo - October 12 and so far a post at both blogs daily. Next I work on next week's posts leading up to Donna's blog book tour stop at Queen of Socks. The Church Artist blog has gotten 60 hits, too. I added sitemeters to the blogs.

Gearing up for NaNoWriMo

My blogs languish, and it's not without a bit of guilt that I admit it's a very baaaaaad thing for a writer to have a blog and then not keep it fresh. So I joined NaBloWriMo and committed to updating two of my blogs daily for the entire month of October. This will work out nicely with my Queen of Socks blog which hosts Donna Druchunas and her new knitting book on October 18. I'll have lots of "pillar articles" surrounding her tour stop which will drive more traffic to the blog. My second blog is for hubbo and his stained glass job. I've been wanting to document this one since the beginning of the year and never got around to doing anything, so now I've made a start. Take a peek here.

Walking at least a mile every day, and I got the new Lilias Folan book and DVD so plenty of yoga in my life, too. I think in my next career I'll become a yoga instructor. Lilias looks so good for someone over 70.

Oh, and I WILL get the blog book tour guide completed before the month is out, and perhaps even before all you WWW gals meet at the conference.

So how's it going with you? Inez keeping out of trouble? I'm just waiting for her to goof again and really end up pregnant!
