The Battle Continues...

This Sunday marked my first 2,000 plus word day. This in spite (or perhaps with the help of) a power failure around 10:30 pm.

However, I'm still a bit behind. Slowly, but surely, I continue to chip away at the deficit and am currently a little over a week behind now.

But hope springs eternal. The month is only half over...

Post Halloween - Nanowrimo is here!

So, let's see,

The candy contest came down to a tie between myself and one other player for first. The owner threw us some tiebreaker questions, and it all came down to who came the closest (without going over) estimating how much she spent ordering from Oriental Trading (one of my fave places too). I won with $119.95.

I gave a good portion of the candy away in the grandkids Halloween bags, but there is still a little bit left.

Now, on to Nano. I was all set to do Love, Death and Fast Food. I really was. But once again, I had another idea. The outlining went along swimmingly, so that's what I decided to go with. Once again, Mara Ravenclaw makes another appearance, but this time, she's only a bit player.

Five days in, and I hit the 5,000 word mark. Not the most auspicious beginning, but hey, I'm not all that far behind, and I had to work long hours and had horrible commutes last week. This week, I get to carpool, so my word count should increase.
