NaNoWriMo & Word Counts

Here it is 10:39 PM and I am just getting to what I normally do at before 10 AM. Writing. Somedays are easier than others. Todays blog just wasn't going to happen before 10 PM.

I want to go to bed. I don't want to write a blog when I want to be in bed. I really want to be in bed but I am writing instead.

These are the times that you have to just open up word and get down a few words to help tomorrows "make up"word count. Every word I don't write tonight is added to tomorrow (if it was November). I really don't want to be blogging right now but I want to keep up my daily post until NaNoWriMo.

Tonight the words are few but they are words written. Even a few words in one night will get me closer to 50,000. I can not do a few words every night but when you don't want to write, some words are better than nothing. Take a moment to force yourself to do even a few words.

It might be complete and utter nonsense but NaNoWriMo is about quantity and not quality. Just get the words down. They can always be edited out later. Plus you might get a plot bunny or two for other stories. A bad night writing is better than a good day not writing.

Goodnight!

Lucky Saint Patrick's Day!

Ada you will love this... Madison loses her tooth yesterday on the way home from school. I am so excited, I take a picture as soon as she gets out of the van and post it everywhere and email it to family. I clean it off and put it in a zip lock (easier to find under the pillow, right?) and we tuck it under the pillow and we all, ALL fall asleep. Madison wakes up at 5:30 AM and says to me, "I can't see if the tooth fairy left me anything". PANIC stricken. I FORGOT THE TOOTH FAIRY JOB! Okay this is my only job on earth. I can't remember to exchange cash for a baby tooth. I send her to the couch and tell her it is too early that she has to try and go back to sleep. I grab Marks elbow and he says to me, "it is only 5:30". He was awake and heard her too. We both lay in silence for 30 minutes hoping she falls asleep. Funny thing is once we talked to each other thirty minutes later, both of us were in bed formulating a plan. He wanted to sneak out our ...

Thank You 2010

I try very hard not to base my life on my location, size of house, materials I possess, new cars or the latest fashions. It is not something that is easy for me or something I don't have to work on everyday. I have chosen my life to be about Christ and not this world. I try to understand this world in the point of view of Christ. This world is not about what, but who. Even if you are not a Christian it is nobel to do for others. I have chosen in my life to follow Christ. Not perfect, just forgiven. I chose to help organizations that are centered on the love of Christ. My main point this holiday season is to remember the who and not the what. I always thought it would be cool to start a Thank You Card movement. Not that I do things for a thank you. A thank you card just shows me that I did something for someone else that was nice, meaningful, worthy. Kinda like a report card. So my challenge to you is to get a thank you card in 2010. It doesn't have to cost you mon...

Southern Charm

We made an offer (low), the owners countered (expected) and they countered exactly what I thought they would. So, unless the inspector says the house should be demolished we will be the owners of a 1965, full brick, colonial style, bi-level house the second week of July or earlier. It is on a golf course, 6th fairway. It has a pool, fireplace, an original 60's kitchen (redo), hardwood floors, two car garage and much more. We know the process is long when buying a house in this condition. It's not in deplorable shape, livable in need of some updates. It is 44 years old and has not had major updates. This house is 10 years newer than our last house. It has character and southern charm. Not perfect, but perfect for us. Photos on the web are copyrighted. Not sure If I can post them here. I will try and do a link instead......
