NaNo Day 2
I know it's only day two, but are you all staying on track? I hope so. It's easy, even in the early days of NaNo, to skip a day and tell yourself that you'll make it up in the coming days. Don't let yourself fall into that trap! Write!
Here are my best 100 words from yesterday.
""You heard the man, next!" the Guard on the right shouts.The firewood seller spins impressively for a man his size, getting in the face of the Guard. "This here's my booth, not yours. I didn't ask you to be here and I sure as hell don't need you to interfere." He turns back forward with a grunt, taking the ration stamps of the next citizen and scanning them. The Citizen points to two cords of wood and the seller slaps their stamps onto the end of one of the logs with a tack.Journey and I are up to"

NaNo Day 1
So, how'd you all fair? I barely pushed past the bare minimum yesterday with 1,800 words. But, as promised, here are my best 100 words, unedited, and as I wrote them yesterday. Don't forget to check in with me on Facebook and Twitter and check out what's going on under the hashtag of #NaNoWriMo and #100BestWords. Share and be proud of what you've accomplished so far.
"I wrinkle my nose at the smell that permeates the room. It's not as bad as it was when he first got here, but it's still noticeable to me; like he's stained the walls and furniture and everything else with his stench. We'll never get it out. I make my way, grudgingly, over to the side of the bed. Papa set up a small, wooden chair next to the dead of his bed and within arm's reach of the night stand. There's a small bowl of water and worn rag waiting for me. The water isn't much, but in our"
Okay, back to writing!

NaNo has arrived again!
Yo, yo, yo!
Today is the first day of the dredded/celebrated NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)! For those of you not in the loop, NaNo is a challenge to write a novel (50,000 words) during the month of November.
"November?!" you say. "Why November? It's, like, a totally busy month!"
That's the point. During the stress of holidays, season changes, family, travel, and stuffing your face with delicious food and treats, you're challenged to write a novel. Even though you have a bajillion other things going on around you, the sense of pride and accomplishment of carving out a little bit of time each day to write 1,666.6666666667 words is well worth it. Even if you don't reach the 50,000 word goal, you've written something and that something will always be better than nothing.
I'm planning on using this month to really buckle down and finish OUTCAST, the second book in the Corporation series. Check out my Facebook page and Twitter feed to check on the progress I'm making. My goal is to share with you each day a little something that I've written; a bit of a sneak peek, if you will.
So, what bout you all? Up for the challenge?
Happy writing, my friends!

Who knew?
I might have said this before, but it's worth repeating....being a full time mom and working a job full time is HARD WORK! But, I'm finding time to write (which is amazing) and Book 2 is still on schedule to come out at the end of 2014!

Why the heck not?
Spring has officially been in town for a little bit, why not celebrate with a few teaser lines from Ethan's POV from Book 2??I want to say nothing's changed since coming to Neech. I want to say we live in a world without the Corporation. I want to say we have a garaunteed plan to get Ajna back.I want to say Karis and I are better than ever.
But I'd be lying.
Everything's changed since coming here. The Corporation is stronger than ever. More deadly than ever. I have no idea if Ajna will ever come home.Karis and I are nothing like before.
This time, I'm the one with secrets.
I am off to dance now. Happy reading and writing, my friends!

Feels like Home
I have mixed feelings about Spring Break already being here. On the downside, it means that it's almost April already. On the upside, it means that I get mornings off at work and get to work on Book 2! (huzzah).
I've picked a new Starbucks to hang out at during these wee early morning hours to work on my book. It's close to the studio I dance at (feis preparation is going on, so we have some special classes this week). I think I kinda love this location. But, it's more for the people that come here. This is my second morning and I've seen the same group of old men (about five of them) that sit in a cluster of chairs, chatting with each other and greeting everyone that enters by name. It's pretty awesome. I love community like that.
Okay, that's it for now. Must continue to work on Book 2. It's taking me places I didn't think it would. :)

Freebee Friday!
So, Hubby was talking to his boss about the infestation of squirrels our neck of the wood has, and the impossibility of having a bird feeder for the birds.
That is, until this.
Enjoy and happy Friday!

merry christmas!
Did you all have a Merry Christmas? We had a memorable one with our little baby experiencing it for the first time. At barely five months, it's the little thing that entertain her the most. Like the wrapping paper. Me? I'm enjoying my new HDX.
The new year is just around the corner, and I have few resolutions in my back pocket that I will be pulling out. Namely, writing a whole check of a lot more. You?

Time to celebrate
I'm eating a big bowl of ice cream with chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and nuts. Anyone care to take a guess as to what I'm celebrating?
