Feeling so out of it today, maybe because I slept in until noon. Or the fact that I just ate lunch about a half hour ago. My day is all off today. Now I sit here with a bit of a headache. Normally I wouldn’t post on days like today, but since I am trying to not miss a day of NaBloPoMo, here I am posting about really lame stuff. Nothing to keep you readers interested. You could just bypass this entry today if you like.

I could also complain about my obvious lack of word count, if you check out the little NaNoWriMo widget on my sidebar you will see I am a mere 8K behind where I should be right now. Part of this is the starting over, part of it is lack of motivation, and part is just I get tired of typing sometimes. I am still going to try though, I figured out a new daily word count that will get me to 50k at the end of the month, and if I at least stick to that I should have a pretty good first draft of a novel at the end of the month.

Well I am out…Happy Monday =)

So I am working extra hard on my novel, and managed to get way ahead in word count. Yesterday while I was trying to make some invoices and then cleaning up the desktop I somehow trashed my novel. All 6,000 words gone in one quick click of the mouse. I didn’t notice though until hours later when I was all excited about the plot line and where I was headed with this story. Let’s just say I was devastated to realize that it was all gone, and I would have to start over…from scratch. Already five days in I need to make up 8,500 words in one day to catch up. BAH! Well I am off to take a nap and then try to work on getting some word count going again.

At least some good things happened yesterday to make deleting my novel not seem so bad.

- warm November days
- sitting outside and reading
- keeping up with my daily word count for my novel
- paintings that just sort of come together
- my new charger for my camera
- short lines at the post office
- spending time with my husband
- the changing of seasons

The fun that is NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo! I will be attempting both again this year, after last years defeat. I somehow managed to give up on my novel at the end of the first or second week as I got sick, and then I also managed to miss a day of posting over here. So of the last two years of doing this I succeeded one and failed at the other. I guess that means I have a 50/50 chance of getting through them this month. Maybe I will only manage to maintain one, who knows. We will see. Let’s enjoy the trip everyone, I have a novel to begin that I have no idea what it will be about yet. So off I go into a caffiene induced month of chasing some words.

And here is a sneak peak of what it is shaping up to look like…

Lots of things to keep me busy. I have so much to show you, but it has to wait until Sunday.
