Dani BIW - December 3-9

Crack that whip! No rest for scofflaws. It's time to redeem ourselves from our NaNo failings. Although your 10,000+ words were much better than mine. :) I even quit counting! So I'm in for 1,000 words a day. I mean, honestly, if I can't fit that in, I'm in a sorry state. And you must, too, Sister since you're already a pro and have published books. If a proven professional and a wannabe with a lot of time on her hands can't write four pages a day, who the hell can, I ask you? Maybe we should send our daily scribblings to each other as an accountability tool, what do you think? Even if it's dreadfully embarassing. I am so cringing at the idea of your reading my drivel, you cannot imagine.

Exercise (which we both seem to be good enough at) is the usual half hour a day of either walking or yoga. Blew it bigtime with the walking due to weather and even the yoga was sparse. Sigh.

Weekly Writing Goal - 20 pages:

Monday - 0

Tuesday - 2

Wednesday - 0

Thursday - 1

Friday - 3

Saturday - 9

Sunday - 3

Total - 18 pages

And this time I'm committing to actually reporting in daily. You, too? Will it help? We are SO bad at checking in!

Read the first 100 pages of a good book in the making though! :) BIK HOK TAM next week, too. What are your goals? Once again for me. Get. the. Blog. Book. Tour. Guide. finished. Jeez.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

NO! We can't go back to work.... we have to dive in and eat that yummy thing! You, too! It's your birthday and Happy Birthday tooooooooooooooYouuuuuuuuuuu!
Thank you Thank you Thank You!

Happy Birthday to youuuuuuu
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu
Happy Birthday dear (nag) sisterrrrrrrrrrr.....
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuuu!!!

OK! Now its back to work for both of us! :-)

Let Us Pray

Oh, this is a GREAT photo and a great sentiment. I really need some holy intervention. Tomorrow, between preparing for Thanksgiving, I swear I'll write three pages (even though I'm feeling pretty desperate about the whole venture right now).

Here's how I really feel about this stinkin' venture and NaNo!

Ha! Then it's clear we're at the same place (psychologically speaking. Have you noticed that my NaNo lines haven't moved a bit in a week? This is really sad...

Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

Ann's NaNoWriMo GO! for the rest of the month

Goals for the rest of NaNoWriMo

I can't get these stupid widgets to update on any site... arggh!

November12-30

Monday - zip pages/walk .7
Tuesday - 2 pages/.5
Wednesday - 2 pages/ zip
Thursday - 2 pages/zip
I have done hardly anything related to NaNO! Blog book tours and reading groups have taken up my time for the most part.... and four sick cats. Blech. I'm ready to give up. Don't give up! I've had a tough week too. Migraine, all day today. And that's a good day compared to the rest. Let's just do the best we can. ANYthing is better than nothing! I've done no writing this week; hope to write a bit tomorrow. Have gotten totally bunged up in the plot and am discouraged. But will keep trying! Please keep trying with me!

I will, I will.... but, as you say, it's discouraging. I'm still working on character descriptions and getting a sense of the location and houses. Much less plot. I haven't even thought of the ghosts yet! Oy. We better say a prayer or two at this point. To COS on Monday and then Thursday is Thanksgiving, which means Wednesday is shot getting ready for that. BLECH! Where did the whole month go???

November goals - Week 1 of NaNoWriMo

Rough start for me today. I did get all my Ghost Town notes copied and have been moodling about the characters. It was definitely a NaNo kinda day. Also signed up for BIW which starts next week. Okay, so here it is:


Page goal is 50 for BIW/walking goal is 7 miles
NaNo:
Thursday - 5 pages and .6 miles
Friday - 3 pages and 0 miles .... hellish sinus/migraine issues
Saturday - zip and only .5 miles
Sunday - 7 pages and 1.0 mile ... felt lots better today! Also got through half of the WWW monthly read

BIW:
Monday - 3 pages /1 mile
Tuesday - 3 pages /1 mile But not on NaNo stuff either day.... eeek!
Wednesday - 2 pages/1.5 miles
Thursday - 12 pages/1.5 miles Now that's more like it - all NaNo
Friday - 3 pages/1.5 miles
Saturday - 3 pages/.7 miles
Sunday - 3 pages/0 miles
Total - 29 pages and a lot of it not NaNo stuff ... oh, well

Nothing going ... yet

Did a lot of rushing around today. Tomorrow, I'm sitting 10 hours in a car, while we drive to UCSB to do a perspective student tour ... lots of time to write!
