I finished my novel today, just minutes ago crossed the 50,000 mark and finished NaNoWriMo this year. YAY! Last year I failed miserably so to come back this year and finish is quit an accomplishment for me. Even though I had a rough start when I accidently deleted it a few days in, and had to start over.

Only one more post left to finish the 30 posts in 30 days NaBloPoMo thingy ma jiggy too. Guess I had a little too much time on my hands this November. Ok off to make me some scrambled eggs. I promise there will be some pretty artwork to show in the very near future.

That’s how many days are left in this month. Only twelve days to finish 30,000 words for NaNoWriMo, only twelve days left to post for NaBloPoMo, twelve days left until I can finally stop going after these goals that seem to take over my life settle in, and allow me to do nothing more than be stuck.

Not sure where I was going with that. I just find myself thinking an awful lot lately. Thinking instead of doing, thinking instead of painting, or drawing, or creating illustration. Thinking instead of contacting galleries, and art directors. Thinking instead of trying to find ways to keep promoting myself, and to get my art out there into the world.

To much thinking, not enough listening to my heart and doing.

Need to go walk this guy in a few here. My wrists are hurting and I can’t seem to type straight. Managed to write 7,000 words in the past two days in an attempt to catch up, so I can slow down the pace just a touch on the novel writing. I hope to be at 30k by Wednesday then I won’t be too far behind. It is nice to set goals and reach them, I think that is why I am refusing to give this up this year. I don’t even know if I will ever get around to editing this novel, but it is nice to set out that goal that I will write 50k in a month, and then to achieve it. I know the feeling I had two years ago upon completing the challenge was amazing.

So with that my legs need a workout now that I have sat here planted for the past three hours typing away…

Another painting for the group show I am participating in next month.

I’m procrastinating here on this lazy Saturday morning. I want to write, as I have a word count to hit. Yet I am not feeling all that motivated to write. I feel right now the story I am writing is losing momentum, or maybe I am. I will not bore you today with my thoughts on writing 50k in a month, instead I will open the file and try to up my word count a little, so that I could get just slightly closer to that goal.
