I was on vacation, then under the weather since the first. So, my first post this month will have [drumroll] FIVE poems! This year, I have chosen to use the prompts from NaPoWriMo. You can also sign up to participate! April 1: How to own a pet (or a child)Â Â Inspired by How to Make a […]

November Notes
I don’t have a lot of energy to write at the moment. I taught six consecutive school days in a high school classroom, which was a lot of fun, but tiring. Different type of environment, and I spent a lot of energy helping the kids stay on task. And then, of course, I caught the […]
Not happening. Or maybe it will.
NaNoWriMo has not been working out for me. I have been distracted by real life, and real life has not been a lot of fun. SO…. halfway through the month I will try to get more written, but it’s not looking hopeful. Meantime, I was prompted to write a short intro for a teaching website, […]
NaNoWriMo
I am going to try for a novel again this year. I have managed to miss the last couple of years — last year I think I got all the way up to 700 words (unofficially)! I have a working title of “The Seventh Billion” — we’ll see where the writing takes me. The last […]
NaNoWriMo Begins
I didn’t stay up until Midnight, I sat down at 10 pm after spending the day getting ready for and visiting with a classmate of mine. We held our annual All Hallow’s feast and enjoyed several hours just hanging out and enjoying talking. So I just finished my first set of words… 481. Not bad […]
November’s “Spare Time” Project (yeah, right)

Accomplishment
It is with a whole lot of pride, and not inconsiderable relief… that I announce I did it! I have completed the NaNoWriMo challenge. I wrote over 50,000 words (official count 50, 210) between Nov 1 and Nov 30. I finished today (Nov 28). I did NOT write anything at all on six days, so […]
First Chapter Complete!
I signed up officially for NaNoWriMo this morning at 11 — and here it is 1:15 and I have written MORE than 1500 words! Which is good, because I realized that I need to write an average of about 1700 words (not the 1500 I had anticipated) to meet the 50,000 word goal. Gee, that’s […]
