| Poor Picture quality but that face |
We’ve reached the other side of my annual November blog
hiatus.
Was I successful in my NaNoWriMo endeavors?
The short of it … no.
I made my word count consistently for the first week, and
then it all took a tumble.
It was one of those situations where you wanted to do
everything but the thing you committed to.
Was it a total failure?
No.
I finished a short story, finally, that I’d been working on
for about a year. I’m excited to see readers’ responses after I do an initial
edit (if any reader is interested in being a short story guinea pig, don’t be
shy, let me know.)
Since I wasn’t writing as I should’ve been for NaNo, I got
some other things sorted out. Including
some exciting things on the horizon for a friend and me that combines our love
of reading and cooking. Stay tuned.
I started working full time, more than full time now. It’s still
from home, but there’s human-to-human interaction on a daily basis now. Yay me!
I also bought a new vehicle. My Malibu was reaching the end
of its very prolonged, slow death. Like any good car owner, I decided to
abandon it in favor of a shiny, quiet, black Chevy HHR.
Car aficionados out there are shaking their head at my
choice. Of all the options, why go with something judged so poorly in the car
world?
The answer comes in three points:
1)
It was cheap
2)
It doesn’t sound like a motorcycle gang driving
down the road
3)
If it runs good, which it does, I’m on board
since it meets the first two criteria
Naturally, one progresses from car buying to house buying.
So, we’re now traveling down that road.
November … A lot of stuff crammed into 30 days.
December: Christmas goodness and prepping for a very, very
busy 2015.

Isn't it funny how you can find excuses to do anything other than what you commit yourself to. I think it takes about two weeks of doing something consistently for the habit to form. You're not alone. Congrats on completing your short story though xx
