The Bucking Horse is Winning, But I'm Still at the Rodeo


A week ago I was within 1,500 words of my goal. Today, at 12,294 words, I'm 50% behind.

Sigh...

A weekend full of grading and prepping, combined with family obligations kept me from writing.

Miss visiting all of you. Trying to pop around when I get a few minutes here and there.

Hugs,

    Real life has been interfering with what I want to be doing lately too. I hate it when that happens ... and it's only going to get worse with the holidays approaching!

    Funny, whenever I check the wordcounts (usually once or twice a day) I keep thinking HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU!! You've got mad craziness going on and you're still kicking butt!!

    I'm only at 9277 words but I'm determined to speed ahead.

    Remember, this is still 12,294 more words than you would have written otherwise.

    YEEHAW!

    Hang in there Pseudo. I'm not far behind you. Need to update what I did get done this weekend, but I think any amount of words we get down get us closer to an all more important goal of getting our book written. Or so I keep telling myself.

    Write ON! Word by word.

    It's that time of year for a school teacher. Check in when you can clear your schedule a bit.

    Good luck catching up. I don't know how you find the time to write at all. Do you sleep?
    I hope we get to eventually read your novel.

    So what if you do not make it??? Just finish it late. It will probably be better that way anyway!

    Don't knock your progress. You're still far ahead of where you were before you started Nano. Good for you!

    I'm impressed that you are still at it. I think it's commendable that you are least keeping up with the intent of the Nanananathingy.
