Where Have I Been? Where Am I Going?

Pulled up the blog to see how long it had been since I wrote anything, thinking it might be a few days -- good grief! What happened?

Well, there were the 2 turned into 4 days of purging the office and cleaning house for company. The days when we had company. The day I took off work and writing to play tourist with company. The days of recuperating from company. Oh yeah, that's where time went...

So anyway, the Novel in a Month process started on November 1, a day on which I wrote nothing (recuperating from company). The next two days were pretty pitiful, although I did get a lot of editing done. However, today was one of those glorious days when the story flowed and I was laughing and crying over my own work. Gotta love those precious moments of synchronicity.

Since the other CherryNoMo members had pretty much talked me out of trying to start a new work in progress while finishing and revising my current WIP, I am just using the NoMo structure to try and build a month of discipline into my writing schedule and play around with what will work best for me for the long haul. So I am participating in a 2-day challenge this weekend to write at least 500 words per day and, if possible, write enough more to catch up with the minimum daily words necessary to finish a 50,000 word epistle in only 30 days.

As we are now 5 days into the process and I should be at the 8,334 word mark, I don't see that happening. But I hope I can chug out enough words to get this WIP finished and ready for final revision for the Golden Heart, which has to be in their hands by December 2.

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! I see Oreos and Coke on the horizon...

Cheerleaders! I need cheerleaders!
