I wrote a little this morning. Not, mind you, a lot. I'm still about 6,000 words behind the approximate-Nano-worthy word count... oh, and that's only if you count the words I wrote before the beginning of November. I figure I'm allowed to cheat since I am not officially signed up, and I since I had less than 5,000 words written before the month stared, so it's not really that big of a deal.
(Well, I would have a lot more than that if you counted the backstory about my main character's childhood, which I want to embed into the ms as a flashback, but I am not yet sure where or how I'm going to use it, so for now, it's not considered part of the word count.) <-- longest sentence ever.
It feels good to admit that I am cheating. Although, let's be honest.
It kind of sucks, too.
I'm about to beat the living daylights out of my inner editor, who is being really mean to me lately, and telling me that my blog posts suck as much as my first draft. I think she might be a little PMS-ish.

I was like "Awesome! Put the kids to bed and it'll be writing time!"
And then I played Pokemon and watched the Monday Night Football game.
I figure its better to spend what little time I have on my WIP, if I have to choose between it and blogging, or Blahging.
So don't sweat it.
By the way, thanks for visiting my blog! I hope you send your bookshelf pictures soon.
I respect all of you for giving it the ol' college try but honestly, unless you are a monk in a mountain, single with cats, life sometimes just gets in the way, ESPECIALLY around the holidays! If it was a January 1st start date I bet people would do much better.
CHEAT AWAY...your secret is safe here.
much love
