What a terrific day I had.
Unofficial first day of my vacation, with the weekend not being counted, and I spent it doing exactly what I most hoped for. I wrote. While mischievous Mattie happily romped at doggie daycare and Murphy snored on the couch beside me, I spent the majority of the day in my PJs working on my NaNo story. A wee bit of editing to get me going (I know I am not supposed to be editing now, but couldn't resist) and I had a wonderfully productive day. This is exactly the kind of week I planned. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It is days like today that give me a real glimpse of what it would be like to work at my writing full time. It fuels my dream. Truly.
Day 15 is the midway point in the NaNoWriMo project. 25,000 is today's mark for those who are schedule. I am still behind but catching up... grin.
My stats today are:
Coffees drank: 48
Most wince worthy cliché written: you seem visibly upset
Hours spent writing: 47
Deaths/Murders: one body, throat slit, missing left hand
Best line so far: I would happily trade flirtatious banter back and forth, until such time as your ego is sufficiently inflated for me to drop kick it like a football to the other side of the grounds.
Chocolates consumed: 55
Most time squandery distraction: running up and down stairs doing laundry
Take outs ordered: 3
Words written: 16,449
Characters introduced: 15
Favourite word written: litigious*
Social / family functions attended: two
Motivation level (scale of one to ten): 25
* I have noted the appalling deterioration of intelligent "favourite words". Will try to halt the decline before the prose is reduced to a series of monosyllabic grunts.
About Me
- muhbuh
- A part time writer and insatiable bookworm, I started this blog with the idea to challenge myself to read more and slim down. Two years in, having read some wonderfully entertaining and thought provoking works and sitting several pounds lighter, I continue to muse about the absurdity of life - mine specifically and the world at large, what inspires surprises and angers me, books and other entertainments, my dogs, my unending struggle to balance healthy self esteem and the desire to lose weight, my travels and any other notion buzzing round in my noggin - all that which makes up the jumbalaya that is life chez MB. Well that’s the plan, anyway...wink.
