Not that I'm panicked or anything... but it seems like I used to have a month before NaNoWriMo, and now it's down to a WEEK! ACK!!!
I already know I have more work to do before November begins... Guess I need to start taking the time I plan to use for writing during NaNo and use it for more pre-plotting. I'm nervous... and I keep telling myself that the fate of the world doesn't hang in the balance, but I don't want to lose again. Last year was pretty demoralizing. Yes. I'm a bit competitive, even when it's just against myself and the calendar.
=========================
Speaking of NaNoWriMo, I found this great new blog, "Routines for Writers", and they are featuring posts from Karen Wiesner now and on through NaNo. Karen is a prolific and very talented author of both fiction and non-fiction, and she happens to have a book called "First Draft in 30 Days", the information from which can be a big help when planning your NaNo attack. Check it out!

Things you don't expect to hear from your child's mouth:
"Thanks for the mold, Mom."
DD was thrilled (!!) when I let her take a bit of moldy bell pepper and put it in a petri dish. She loves her microscope...
And that may tell you more about the state of my refrigerator than I should let be known in public.
==========================
Was "Criminal Minds" a repeat this week? Or does my DVR hate me? Because it didn't tape.

You Are Saturday |
 Like this day of the week, you are ruled by Saturn. More than anything, you are down to earth. You are practical and wise. You take care of yourself before all others. Sometimes you tend to be a bit suspicious. You are protective of what you have. While some people see Saturday as a day of leisure, you see it as a day to get things done. You always look forward to your productive Saturdays. You wouldn't have them any other way! |
==========================
Um... sort of?
==========================
Oh, and... DH? Still sick, but getting better. Yes, he stayed home again yesterday, and today is his day off anyway, so I have him until Monday. Then... in November? He's off all but SEVEN DAYS. Dear heavens... kiss the routine goodbye. Ah well, it'll be good for him, if not for me.
