Despite an unbelievable number of distractions, not the least of which was doing three days of work on the website (!!) because I can finally access the blasted thing again, I still managed to eke out 756 (750 words being my minimum daily goal). DH is planning to be gone a good part of the day today, so I have high hopes -- even though DD will still be here. Still, I have a grand total of 5,008 words since I started Sweating on Monday, so I'm not complaining.
Now that I've nearly completed "Kitchen Matches" (our heroine is no longer pinned against the side of the tow truck, she is collapsed in a heap at the hero's feet instead!), I need to work on something else until NaNo. I have two novels that are currently incomplete: "Return to Stiller Creek" (my mystery) and "The Possibility of Forever" (Formerly "Camilla's Critters"). Hmmm... eight days left of Sven. That's 8000 words. Not enough to finish either one, but it sure wouldn't hurt to add that much to either either (funny -- "EYE-ther" "EEE-ther" -- I almost didn't put it there, but it's what was in my head, so I had to do it *G*). The mystery is at about 45,000 (I need 65,000) and TPOF is at 41,000 (I need at least 55,000, but would prefer 65,000 words). Decisions, decisions....

3 to say that those of you talking about light bulbs aren't working and should get back to work.
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again.
| Your Beauty Element is Earth |
 You are the epitome of a natural beauty. Your look is definitely effortless. And while you shy away from a lot of make-up and accessories, you're no granola girl either! |
That's very, very true.

WTG on writing over 5,000 words and good luck on writing today.
After you've finished with the two writing challenges, what do you do with the stories? Do you send it out to publishers?
My beauty element is earth.
I hope you had a good Sunday.
Call me an earth girl, too. Good luck with those writing challenges -- sounds like you're doing just great!
WTG on the writing!!!
We've got our twin thing going on today. I got Earth, too. :)
Sounds like you're getting LOTS of writing done, at least more than me! I've had a computer crash and I'm moving from a big house to a condo. Talk about getting rid of things!!?
My vote is in and it sounds like you're having a very productive time! Yeah!
Keep writing! You're on a roll.
Haha on the funny!
It sounds as though you are doing very well with the challenge.
I am an Earth, too. Since I wear make-up maybe one a year and barely at that..... *g*.
I hope you have had a glorious sunday!
