Day 9 & Barbra Streisand
Today I went to a “Write-In” for National Novel Writing Month & knocked out 2,106 words with 6 delightful fellow writers.

Day 8 – Carrot Shoes
They’re not actually made of carrots, the shoes. But the purchase of them became a carrot that helped me hit my writing goal today. You know how it is… you want to get something done, and you want a little treat, a small one to make the task that much lighter. Well, today I took [...]

Day 6 – Worst Kiss

Day 4 – and the writing is like…
I did get my word count in today, and I’m looking forward to meeting tonight with the 15 area writers who are also suffering, uh, I mean doing NaNoWriMo. I’m going to talk about carrots and sticks. The teeth pulling thing definitely falls under the stick category. Tomorrow I’ll give you the best carrots we [...]

Day 3 – waffles
Pumpkin waffles with the family + reading + errands + lunch with my dad and sister + the gym (did I mention the bacon with the waffles?) + dinner with the family + movie night = 634 words. But the waffles were worth it! Happy Writing, Reading & Waffling Kathy

Day 1: Fresh Start
Day One: National Novel Writing Month, affectionately known as NaNoWriMo (until day 10 or so, when I’m not feeling as perky). Filed away editing project until Dec. 1? Check Cleared desk?
