Well I haven’t stopped writing the story but I am not going to make the goal of 50,000 by the end of the month. I did get further than I had in previous years but Real Life ™ got in the way again and unless I can write about 5,000 words today and get everything else that needs to be done finished, it is not happening. I will get back to the regular pace today to see if I can complete the month in good shape.<\/p>\n
I don’t feel too bad about it. I did manage to keep up the pace for a while. I have a chunk of the story worked out in my head and now I can get it down on paper (or in the computer).<\/p>\n
I just have other things that need my attention more than the story right now. It would probably be different if I had a sale on it because then I would be earning money as I write. As it is, it is a fun activity and maybe it will become money but not today.<\/p>\n
Peter made a new friend on the line yesterday but I am going to wait for him to tell the story first.<\/p>\n
I have a feeling that a nap is in my future today since I had a pretty bad night of it last night. I debating if I should go to my Doctor or my Dentist first to see if I can get this problem solved. If it is yet another sinus infection then I have to see the Doctor. If it is a tooth problem then it is my dentist. I may just flip a coin. I do have to see my doctor about my back again since the flare up last night was pretty bad and Advil had little to no effect.<\/p>\n
Some other ideas are percolating in my head of some stuff I want to get done before Thanksgiving and then before Caroline’s Birthday Party and then before Christmas and then before the New Year. More on those once they are a little more solid.<\/p>\n
I will be going to the SFWA Mill & Swill on Monday as will Peter. And of course I’ll bring pictures of the kids and a flashlight.<\/p>\n
I am grateful for whatever I get done today and will tell myself that it is enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
