Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 27
Give me 3 hours to just sit and write and I will waste 2 1/2 hours. That’s just my nature. Sorry about that.
I actually had more time than that yesterday, but I took my favorite daughter to a place where she could do her conditioning and we could hit the volleyball around for a little while. Then I made some awesome mac and cheese (ok, really shells and cheese) with some left over ham (Thank you Millicans!). By the time I sat down to write I had surfed twitter, facebook, chatted with my friend Mike (that Plested fellow I wrote Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty with… you’ll know the book one day)
So I put my hands on the keyboard and the wife called. She had worked late and was on her way home. I was expecting her a little later and thought I still had time to write. I made dinner for her so she’d have a hot meal when she got home then wrote like a FURY because I had wasted all the time I was going to write. Yeah, I need to stop wasting time I know.
So right now I’m one day (about 1500 words) behind for NaNoWriMo. I know I can easily make that up, it’s just a matter of not wasting time I have available. It’s just human nature to do so. I don’t really feel like I wasted that much time, but it was time I could have spent wiser and gotten more writing done.
As for V&A Shipping II; I’m still having a blast writing it. The crew is on the run…again. Things are starting to fall apart. I need to decide what’s going to happen next. I have a good idea, I just feel like I’m rushing the plot, the pacing feels off. I’m trying to allow things to congeal in my mind so when I put them down it doesn’t feel that way. Perhaps when I re-read and re-write I’ll have a better feel for where it’s lacking. For now I just need to press on and I’ll get to my NaNoWriMo goal. I do have a B.T. Justice chapter next and he’s so much fun to write that I know I’ll blast though his chapter.
So I’m still having fun, but December is on my mind. I need to write my Action Pack episode and record it. I’m anxious to get into the Jack Kane edits. I’m eager to get into the edits for all the books I want to put out next year. I’m excited about the prospect of getting the cover work for V&A Shipping and seeing that book in print and ebook as well as re-recording it. hopefully V&A Shipping II will be hot on its heels, but I think I’ll be putting out Of Gnomes and Dwarves second. So much to plan out.
Okay, stop me. I’m distracting myself. First I need to get the day job out of the way and finish out NaNoWriMo with a strong finish and then December will take care of itself.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NoNoWriMo Day 26
Wow, we’re in the homestretch of this NaNoWriMo thing. Just a few days left. The pressure to finish has begun. Will I get finished? Won’t I? What will I feel if I do? What will I feel if I do? Does it matter that I still won’t be any closer to having a completed novel? So many questions.
I’m actually more excited to be writing my 2012 postmortem. I’ll do a NaNoWriMo postmortem first to explain the little I learned over the course of November, but it was nothing that hadn’t come to me during the year already. Honestly, I could probably type it up now, but I’ll hold off. There are many other words to write first and I need to get to those.
So Yesterday I sat. I wrote. I knocked out just over 1000 words. Yeah, I was behind yesterday and now I’m more behind today. My Favorite Daughter had a volleyball banquet and spending time with her, or any family, or friends, is more important that shoving my nose in the the computer and typing like a madman. Sure, I think writing is one of my priorities, but there are choices, and then there’s life to live.
I read a post by J.R. Blackwell (yes, I find it funny that she and I share the J.R. of our names) and her post was insightful. It’s something I really needed to think about. There are a lot of people out there that write. Most are not comfortable with their level of writing ability. Some have life happen and just stop writing. Still others never even try and give up before they start. If you want to be a writer and see work published, you need to take risks and one of those risks is getting your work in front of people. It’s scary, but if you’re persistent talent be damned, you will find an audience.
There are some terrible authors out there. No, really. Some are just plain awful. I can’t count the number of books that have explained a story to me that had me so bored I had to put the book down. There are others that have stories that either make no sense or have plot holes that drive me mad (there are a lot of movies like that, but I digress). Finally you’ll find authors that just plain can’t tell a cohesive story. What do all of these have in common? They’re all PUBLISHED! Someone saw their work and loved it and decided it needed to be in print.
You are you own worst critic. If you write, don’t judge your own material against someone else’s material. Allow others to judge your material on its own merit. That’s the best thing you can do. When you sit alone and write it’s difficult to tell yourself that what you’re writing is any good. Trust me, you’ll see every flaw and learn to hate your writing unless you can get another person to read it and even then you’ll still tell yourself that it sucks and it could be better and and and…
Stop and take a breath. Realize that 1) no one is forcing you to write and 2) you should be having fun writing that story.
If you’re not having fun then I think you should reassess why you’re writing in the first place. If you’re having fun and don’t want anyone else to read your work, that’s fine. No, really. There’s no rule you need to write something for other people. Just know that someone somewhere will like what you’ve done. There are a lot of people in the world and if you cared enough to write it, someone will be happy reading it.
I’ve written a lot of stuff. Some will never see the light of day. That’s just the way my brain works. Some of this stuff isn’t meant for human consumption (some I wouldn’t even let my dog poop on). Even so, there is some of it that I’m quite happy with. I had fun writing the stories and hopefully people enjoy reading them. That’s why I write. I want to entertain people. Nothing more, nothing less. In the end I’d be just as happy with 10 people reading my work as 10,000. Obviously if 10,000 people read my work I’ll be more motivated to write more, but it won’t change the fact that I’m having fun doing this.
I’m going to do my day job. Then I’m going to have some fun. I hope, if you write, you’re having fun too.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 25
Today is not just a good day, it’s a great day! I got up early. I feel wonderful. Sputtery Truck isn’t so sputtery at the moment (and I ordered parts only to replace that will ensure it stays less sputtery). I have an incredible week off from work. I didn’t have 10,000 emails when I got back (only 9,999). So today is a GREAT day.
It’s the 26th of November. I have 5 writing days left to hit 50,000 words. Can I do it? I’m sitting on 40689. That means I have less than 9000 words to go! I’d do the math, but why do math when I can be thinking about the awesome things that will be happening to my characters in the next few day?
I’m also excited that I crossed the 450,000 word mark. That was my word goal for 2012 and I passed that mark with lots of year still left to go. Next year’s goals are still coalescing in my mind and we’ll see what happens. I’m shifting between 2000 words per weekday, 1500 words per day, 350,000 words of new fiction + 200,000 words on the blog. So much thought is going into just what I’ll do next year, it’s a little distracting. What do I do?
I say down and wrote last night. I had fully intended to take a day off from writing. I couldn’t do it! I just couldn’t. I’ve built up all this momentum and motivation and excitement, how can I NOT write?
Let me take a couple deep breaths here.
Okay, better. How has your year gone? Did you keep track of the number of words you wrote? Did you accomplish what you set out to do? Do you have time to set a quick goal and accomplish it before the end of the year? Were your thoughts greater than realization? Are you revamping your goals for next year?
It’s never too early to start planning what you’re going to do. I used to think “Pfft, I don’t need to write that down, I’ll know when I hit my target.” Seeing my numbers in a spreadsheet really drove home the point that I DO need to see the numbers and goals in front of me. I need to see then each and every day or I’ll allow things to slip and slide out of control. My year wasn’t perfect. I won’t lie. But my numbers were in a steady upward trend all year. Here’s the graph showing 2012’s progress for the curious.
Like I said, steady, upward progress. Each day was only a small, tiny portion of the words I needed for the entire year. It wasn’t always easy. The straight, blue line you can see shows the target, the jagged, red line shows you where I was actually at. The flat line at the very end shows you December (words I haven’t written yet). Little things like this motivated me throughout the year. Even when I hit a slump, I could still see where I was at, make adjustments, kick my self in the rear and write more.
It’s not always easy to motivate yourself. Sometimes you think what you’re writing sucks, you see friends writing or producing anthologies and think, I want to come play in that sandbox. I strongly doubt that it’s ever anything personal, but I keep pressing forward and putting work out there. Well, I was. Next year I’ll be putting more out there and having a lot of fun doing on. As long as I’m having my fun, others can have their fun. If we share in that fun together, bonus, but I can’t pause and dwell on anything negative or it’ll suck me down into a hole (yes, that did happen this year)
I know I’ll see negative reviews. I’ve seen those before. They suck. I move on. I’m not writing for those people. I’m writing for myself first. That makes the writing more fun than it ever has been. I’m not trying to write to the market. I’m writing the best stuff I can and having a lot of fun in doing so. As long as I’ve been writing I’ve still got so much to learn. Doing what I did this year provided me with so much food for thought on how to tackle next year.
I will continue to put my thoughts together for how this year played out. Where all those words went. What I accomplished. What I intended to accomplish. What went right. What went wrong. It’ll be a wordy post that will have to wait until after NaNoWriMo. I have a day job that needs doing. I’d better get on that.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 24
You thought I forgot about you, didn’t you? Go ahead, admit it. You didn’t think I was going to post today.
It’s alright, I didn’t think I was going to post either. To be honest, I had no intention of writing at all today. You may ask and wonder why. Well, I’ll tell you why.
In mid-December 2011 I decided to create a spreadsheet to track the number of words I wrote. I expanded that spread sheet to show a target for 2012. I added many columns, put the dates all the way through until the end of 2012 and I projected just how much I needed to write on a daily basis in order to reach that goal. I set a goal of 500,000 words. To be honest that number scared me. Scared me a lot. What if things happened or got in the way or what if I had a day I couldn’t write.
I backed that goal down to 450,000 words for 2012. I looked at the 1233. That’s how many words per day I needed to write each and every day in order to hit my daily word goal. Sounds so simple. It was at first, then it got harder as I started to stress out about the numbers. Then I started writing like a madman. I was writing on my daily update, Unorthodox writing tips, guest blogs, book reviews, movie reviews…
Wait a minute. I thought I was here to write fiction.
Suffice to say, it’s not December yet and I’m sitting on 451080 words on the year. I’ll do a postmortem of 2012 sometime in December after NaNoWriMo, but trust me when I say two things about 2012.
1) It wasn’t easy to write 450,000 words in as short a time as I did
2) I always felt like I wasn’t writing enough when I did write.
Yes, those sound contradictory, but when I write up how I got here, you’ll understand a lot more of how this year went and how those numbers kept on climbing. It’s been a long journey and if you’d like to read back through the year you may see what happened and what didn’t happen. I learned so much not only about my writing, but about myself, my family, my friends.
Am I excited to be over 450,000 words and beyond my goal? You bet your sweet aunt petunia I am. Will I stop now that I hit my goal? Oh my, tis to laugh. I shan’t be stopping any time soon. I’ve finally found a groove that took me all of 2012 to really find. Now that I’m in that groove, I intend to write even more words in 2013 and work on getting books into the hands of readers. Exciting times are ahead.
For now, I’m tired. I took care of Sputtery Truck today. I took my Favorite Daughter to a private volleyball lesson. We ate a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner with the Millicans. (It was the Millican who scared Sputtery Truck into running right again). All in all it was an awesome day. Tomorrow will be filled with more adventure, more words, and more time with my family.
I hope you also had a wonderful weekend and I hope that you’re doing well on your NaNoWriMo goal. Just remember, that if you missed, you stalled, you had trouble along the way, 50,000 wasn’t the main point. The main point was to sit down every day and write. You also don’t need November to work on your writing. Build your own spreadsheet in google docs and go for it. Set a target, write towards it. You can do this. I’m proof that anyone can do this.
It’s been a very long weekend. So much has happened and I’m tired. I need some sleep and I will begin tomorrow to get into the home stretch of my NaNoWriMo goal. For now, I’ve got a tummy full of Turkey once again and it’s time for bed. Tomorrow I’ll be up early and back to work once more. Thank you for stopping by. Thank you for reading my ramblings.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 23
Yesterday came and yesterday went. I wrote about 100 words, so I’m a little behind today. I need to write ~2500 words to get back on track. I’m nearly at 40,000 words and I can do this! Just you wait and see.
V&A Shipping II is really starting to take shape. I’d say I’m just past the half-way point of the novel and strange things are about to occur. There will be chases, explosions, and trouble. Lots and lots of trouble. It’s a fun time to sit and write this book. I’m really having a good time.
So why didn’t I write yesterday? Well, I read a bunch. I read some more. did some stuff around the house, started to watch a movie with the wife and my favorite daughter, then we went back to the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner breakfast (that’d be thanksgiving dinner with eggs the morning after). Played with the nieces and nephews. My favorite daughter introduced her boyfriend to the family.
Then we went to the Millican’s son’s football game. It wasn’t an easy game. The other team had an incredible running game that the defense didn’t shut down until it was too late. They still had a great showing and never gave up. I was happy to see how well they did.
Finally got home and thought about writing, but my brain just wanted to go to sleep. I read for a little bit and finally around midnight I was out like a light.
I slept in this morning. I still need to get Sputtery truck checked. I’ll do that later today. For now I need to knock out some words, get our heroes just a little deeper into trouble (after a botched rescue attempt), and see where the story takes us. I already have an end in mind, but I need to stir the pot a little more before I get there.
There are words to write and they ain’t gonna write themselves!
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 22
Today is a good day. Well, mostly.
First, I’m still on track with NaNoWriMo. I managed to find a quiet corner yesterday while the wife and my favorite daughter got ready to go to the in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner. I knocked out roughly 1700 words. Today I just need 1000 words to stay on track (I’ll be doing that next).
Thanksgiving dinner was incredible. I had more than enough to eat and there is more than enough for leftovers this morning. We’ll be heading there in a couple hours for breakfast which will consist of thanksgiving dinner plus eggs. Oh yeah.
I filled up Sputtery Truck at an AM/PM gas station (after the wife, my favorite daughter, and others went midnight shopping). I haven’t done that in a very long time. On the way Sputtery Truck got quite sputtery. The Check Engine light flashed, stayed steady, flashed, stayed steady. I’ll be heading out in a little bit to make sure it’s alright. Hopefully it’s just a tank of bad gas. I’ll be contacting my friend to see if he can swing by tomorrow and run a diagnostic on it and make sure it’s nothing serious.
There’s been a smell of burning rubber, but I think, not 100% sure, that it’s coming from the new brake pads. We put a rubber compound on the outside of the brake pads that is supposed to quiet the noise they make. I’m hopeful there isn’t something seriously wrong. We’ll see.
Today is another busy day. I’m going to see if I can knock out a few words before we head out the door. So my to do.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 21
Let me get this out of the way first:
FELIZ NAVIDAD!
Oh, wait. I meant Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful day no matter where you live or if you celebrate or not. Take a moment today (and you really should every day) to be thankful.
I’m thankful for my fingers, they help me type.
I’m thankful for my legs, they help me walk
I’m thankful for my eyesight and contacts that help correct my vision.
I’m thankful for the overly full belly I’ll have later today and to the food I donated so others might have a hot meal.
I’m thankful to be gainfully employed in a job that I absolutely love when others are unemployed, underemployed, or just plain struggling day to day.
I’m thankful that my family is happy and healthy even if some of us are separated by thousands of miles. I can still get on the phone whenever I want to say ‘Hello, I love you’.
I’m thankful for my friends who are so supportive in anything I do and even if I can’t always be with them, they always make sure I’m invited whenever something is going on.
I’m thankful for the internet that has given me so much joy, laughter, support, and introduced me to hundreds of friends I would never have met.
I’m thankful that I live in a city where people complain when a little water falls from the sky or the temperatures dip into the high 30s and that’s the worst we’ll see for a long time.
I’m thankful for my wife. She gives me reason to keep going every day and knowing I have her support in all i do makes it so worthwile
I’m thankful for my favorite daughter (yes, she’s my only daughter which is why she’s my favorite). I’m happy she’s healthy, happy, and even when I’m mad at her, I’m happy just to have her around.
I’m thankful for you, the reader of this blog, subscriber to my podiobooks, reader of my fiction. I’m glad you’re here and I hope you’ll continue to come back.
I’m also thankful I’m on track with my nanowrimo novel. I think I just hit the halfway point which means the book may come in around the 70,000 word mark. I know I have some rewriting to do and there are a couple sections that are a little light that I need to beef up. Some descriptions that I skipped over. So overall it should come in around the 80k-90k mark. We’ll see how that goes.
Last night i sat down and banged out 3000 words. I’m very happy with the way the novel is progressing. I’ve done some initial set up of plot points that, when they come to fruition, will make an excellent ending to the book. These characters really do write themselves. So much fun to be back in their heads.
I’m hoping to bang out a few words before we head to the in-laws for a Thanksgiving Dinner that can’t be beat. We’ll have dinner again on Friday morning…with eggs. We’ll have another with the Millicans on Sunday. So this year I’ll get to eat my most favorite meal of all time 3 times this year. I will be fat and happy come Monday.
There are words to write, pies to bake, and food to eat. I hope you have a wonderful Holiday Weekend and if you’re not in the states, I hope you have a great weekend with your family.
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 20
Holy Carp! what a busy couple of days. My favorite daughter had a private lesson yesterday. Went to the movies. There were things to do and people to see. I feel like I was running in circles all day.
Plus I was still a ways behind on my NaNoWriMo target. I’m still behind, but now I’m only 600 words behind and not 3000 words behind. The past two days I’ve written 2700 words then 2900 words. That helps a little bit. I should be able to get caught up today and I’ll have tomorrow morning to stay on track.
Since I’m writing fast and furious for NaNoWriMo, I’m looking at December for as an editing month. If all goes well I’ll be editing Astel, V&A Shipping, Paradise Palms, Of Gnomes and Dwarves, Billy Barbarian, and Jack Kane. Yes, that’s a heavy load for one month, but I need to get things prepared for 2013. I have a cover artist lined up and I’ll be re-wrapping Astel and getting covers for each of those other books. I wanted editing done 1st. I’ve already gotten edits back for all but Jack Kane (I need to do some re-writes) but once I have the edits done, I can get them into createspace so I can figure out the bind size, and then start working with the cover artist to develop logos for each series (except Jack Kane). Jack will be the stand out here.
My plan is to develop a minor logo for each series as well as developing an icon for each character to start the chapters. Once I have the books ready in cretespace, and I have them available in KDP for ebooks, I’ll work on recording audio. Yes, I’m going to 100% redo each book I’ve already done.
Yes, I’m being ambitious. I want to record every book in as short a time as possible. Once I’ve got the audio 100% done and a book ready to go, THEN I’ll schedule a release date. This will likely be 30 days out from when I have everything completed. This will give me time to send out ARCs, schedule all the blog posts, make sure the stars align, then BAM! Off it goes. That month will also allow me to prepare for getting the next book set up and ready to go.
Of course I’ll need to try and schedule interviews, a blog tour, all that fun stuff. The more I think about it, the more exicted I get. How excited? Excited enough to be writing nearly 3000 words a day. I hope to hit that number again today. This will get me ahead on my nanowrimo goal.
I’m excited about writing more than I’ve ever been because I can see where I’m going now. I’m not just plodding forward putting words down and hoping for the best. I’m looking at my completed works as products that I can release onto the world and THEN hope for the best. I’ll be producing more work then ever before and getting it out there as quickly as I can. It’s not that I’m skimping on the quality of what I’ll be putting out (like the first time I got Astel out). I’m making sure all my ducks are in a row before I even set a release date.
How excited am I? So excited that I almost forgot that I crossed the 440,000 word mark last night. That’s right. I’m not less than 10,000 words away from hitting my word goal for the year. I’m doing some fidgiting and preparing for what I’ll do next year and December will be a very busy month.
Right now my plan is to try and write 2000 words per day during weekdays. That means I’m shooting for 10,000 words a week of new fiction. Not just new words (like these blog posts) but new words of fiction. That with an aggressive release schedule means I’ll be one busy boy next year. And you know what, I don’t care. I’m excited to finally be getting this fiction out into the world. I think I tell a good story and I hope you’ll be along for the ride.
I need to stop talking about how excited I am to be doing this and actually start doing it!
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
Book Review: Frankenstein
So I just finished reading Frankenstein. My Favorite Daughter was reading it for school so I thought I might as well read along with her.
Yeah, not so much.
This is a very difficult book to get through. To be perfectly honest it was nearly as torturous as the torment the monster put Victor Von Frankenstein through. Seriously. The first part of the book is letters from a ship’s captain that picks up Victor. Okay, I was on board with this.
Then we get into Victor’s account of his life.
SNORE!
Then he creates the monster. This last all of two pages where he goes from reanimating animals to a man and then the monster is gone. Wait… I want to know more about this! Wait…where did the monster go?
Someone dies, Victor goes back home. A relative is put on trial for the death and another innocent dies.
IT WAS THE MONSTER! Yes, finally some action in this story.
Victor faces the monster and they talk. A lot. Ad naseum. The monster tells Victor everything and I mean everything he’d been doing since his creation. There are chapters and chapters dedicated to the monster watching this family. The see the monster and decided it’d be better to just leave.
Really? We never see or hear anything about this family for the rest of the book. Was it really that important? Were any of the events in the lives of these people of any import to the book? WTH?
The monster tells Victor, make me a wife and I’ll leave you alone forever. Mr. I’m so smart I can re-animate the dead, but I can’t see that this killing machine will ruin my life if I don’t do as he says… says no. <sigh>
What does Victor do after telling this monster off? He goes on vacation to get his mind off of things.
Wait a cotton-picking minute. He goes on vacation? This self-professed killer is out there, living near his family, and he decides to go on vacation? Is this where Stephanie Myers got her inspiration and logic for Twilight?
SURPRISE! Someone else ends up dead. Victor gets blamed, but is released. So what does he do knowing this monster is still out there killing people?
HE GETS MARRIED!
OMFG! By this point I’m reading just to get to the end of this book. I’m waiting for Victor’s dearest Elizabeth to get whacked. I mean, seriously. Lizzy Frankenstein? She deserved her literary death.
Only then does Dear Doctor Victor Von Frankenstein decide it’s high time to kill this monster. For some reason the monster leads Vic on a merry chase through the artic north and we finally come full circle and we’re back to letters from the captain. Yes, letters again explaining in great, lengthy detail as the dear friend of the captain slides further and further into madness and poor health, yet they continue to chase the monster for him even to the detriment of the crew.
Finally good, old Vic dies and the crew starts home. The monster shows up and basically says “I’m sorry I made your life the hell you made of my life. Too bad you’re dead so you can’t hear me apologize. I’m going to go burn myself now that you’re dead.” And the monster disappears and we never really know his end.
I understand that this book is a classic. I get that the language used in the book is from a distant past. The concept of the book is creating life from death. I think that’s awesome. What I don’t get are all the side trails this book takes that are totally unnecessary and do nothing but make the reader sit back and wonder why. At least that’s what happened to me.
I know it was supposed to be the modern Prometheus. A creator overstepping his bounds and doing something only to serve his own ego. But Prometheus was punished by a higher authority than himself whereas Victor was punished by his own creation due to complete and total stupidity of the creator. All I could think was. AAAAA! MONSTER. Oh, good It’s gone. Now it’s someone else’s problem. Wait, it’s killing my family. I’ll deal with it later. Wait! It’s still killing my family. Oh well, I’ll go on vacation.
Do yourself a favor: Don’t read this book! I read it because I’ve seen all the movies related to this book. They spend time with the creation and the monster and the why and not with all the drudgery of all the mundane crap this book was loaded with.
If you read and enjoyed this book, good on you. I read it only to say I did. I will never revisit this book. It is not where it belongs, in my behind…er, my past.
Daily Update: NaNoWriMo Day 19
To those who’ve asked, yes, I’m posting a post-mortem on the previous day’s activity. Just so there’s no confusion. Yes, I know this is really the 20th day of NaNoWriMo, but I write these in the morning (usually) and haven’t gotten through the day just yet.
That said, I managed to get a lot done yesterday. I bought a step and medicine ball for my favorite daughter so she can continue her conditioning here at home. I picked up some heavier weights. I dropped off my favorite daughter at her Abuelita’s house so she could spend the day with her couisns. I did the laundry. Did I mention I have this whole week off!
Oh,and I wrote 2700 words, made some modifications to my word count spread sheet, gave a LOT of thought to the cover to V&A Shipping, and though about where the V&A II plot is headed and how to resolve all the issues I’ve now brought up.
Even though I wrote a bunch yesterday (not nearly as much as I could have or should have) I’m happy with the progress the story is taking. To get 100% caught up on my nanowrimo goal I would need to knock out 3600 words today. I might, I might not. I don’t know just yet. We’ll see how it goes. I have a lot of other ambitions today and many things I need to do before I sit down and actually start writing.
One of those things is to write a review for Frankenstein. I finished reading that this morning. I’m also listening to The Great Hunt (Wheel of Time Book 2). I never did review book 1 and it would be unfair to try and review it now. I know I really enjoyed the book and I can see why so many got sucked into the series.
I would love to sit here and ramble, but there are words to write. Are you doing NaNoWriMo? Are you ahead? Behind? let me know. I’d love to hear from you. For me, I need to go make words happen!
Until Tomorrow!
WOO WOO!
