4 days Left

    Well, I've been out of town/crazybusy for the last 3 days. Haven't worked on my story at all. Hope to as soon as I get done with this. Been with family. Much needed time away & family reunion.
   Now, to go read & type.

7 Days Left

   Well, just a week until NaNoWriMo. I honestly don't see how I can do it, but I'm giving it my best shot.
   I was sick the last couple days, but it was a blessing in disguise. It gave me some time to read my story some more. Sure enough, I found more mistakes. Amazing. I added a little bit of stuff, too.
   How's THIS for a scary thought: 2 months until Christmas! If you're anything like me, you're thinking, "AYEEEE!"  Poor people like me, who have no time or $ to shop, don't look forward to Christmas.
   What do YOU think about the whole holiday season?

9 days left

   Well, I finally worked on my story last night for the first time in days. I re-read & added things to it until I was falling asleep sitting up, literally. Too easy to make mistakes when you can't even keep your eyes open. It felt great to work on it again, though.
   So ... what do you think about NaNoWriMo? If you don't know what that is, check out my post from yesterday.
   Is ANYBODY reading this? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? I didn't think so. It echoed.
   Please contact me if you read this & if it means anything to you. I'm always open to suggestions, and really would love to hear from you. Otherwise, I won't waste my time with this. I don't want to just squawk about things. Your thoughts are important to me. Thanks.

10 days left.

   Counting today, there are 10 days left until the NaNoWriMo. That is, November, which is National Novel Writing Month. In it, you try to write a novel that's at least 50,000 words in length. Of course, that doesn't constitute a real novel. It's more of a backbone, but you can poilsh it up and add things later. I'm planning to do it. Are YOU a writer? Do you plan to try NaNoWriMo? If so, why? If not, why not? What do you think are advantages/disadvantages? Let me know. I'd love to hear what you think.

   I'm more frustrated than a toothless shark at a feeding frenzy. I've been to bed ridiculously late and up unbelievably early every day this week. I've been running around like a blind dog in a meathouse, yet I haven't gotten ANYTHING done that I want and need to. I haven't touched my computer at home to work on my story. If it wasn't for spare time at work, I wouldn't hardly be on a computer at all.
   Oy. What a waste of time. Granted, I've been at work, earning my piddley money. But I haven't done anything I LOVE to do and want to do. What an awesome thing to do what you love and get paid for it. I so envy those who are writers, artists, whatever who paint, write, etc. It's what they LOVE and they're paid to do it. How could life be better?

   Unbelievable. Today is our youngest son's 16th birthday. WHERE does the time go, and WHY is it in such a hurry to get there? Sixteen years old. I just can't believe it. I remember every detail of the day he was born like it was last week.
   It's times like these that make me want to hurry and get my story done. Maybe my family can have a better life before they all leave home. I hope.

   Wow... this month is flying by! Already 1/2 over.
   Was out yesterday, with our same car in the car hospital again. The radiator was faulty that was just put in. That got me to thinking about how dependent we are. We totally rely on cars,  computers, electricity, etc. What's frustrating is how reliant we are on our old junky cars that aren't even reliable! Our society would come to a sudden crash if we didn't have our gadgets - our iphones, computers, cell phones, etc. Granted, they are technological wonders. You can do amazing stuff with them all. But if they were taken away, we'd be totally crippled and helpless. I almost wish I lived in a simpler time with no gadgets. I think I was born about 150 years too late. Don't get me wrong - I love air conditioning, tv, computers, etc.   I love conveniences. But I feel like a slave to my phone, sometimes.
   What about you? Our your gadgets your helper or your master?
