Word count 19,304 should be at 20,004. 700 outstanding words or even not so outstanding words! Tomorrow I Dragon Speak to catch up and get some knitting done. Yay for multitasking!

Fun busy day but not so much writing. The grand total at midnight is 17,754 Well, I’ll make up for it tomorrow, which is actually today.
16,722 words. Whew!
We Witches Three Books 7-10 Bundle by Starla Silver
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I’m so sad about this series. The first no-no in my world is a cliff-hanger in the book before this one. Each of these books has about four novels. So they take forever to read. The other irritation for me is the angsty romance stuff. People can love many people. Look at families and friends and all. We love. Why set it up that a witch should be guilty for loving a Vampire and another witch? All the wasted romance is so boring to me. So I put my text-to-speech on speed two so as to get done faster.
The saving grace for this set of books is the gargoyle. Especially the pet who takes care of the female Howard. But that isn’t enough for me to find the next big book. It just is too much human angst for something that is a fantasy. Hopefully, others will like this and the books will do okay.
Per Linda:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “ght.” Find a word that contains the letters “ght” in that order, and use it any way you’d like. Bonus points if you use three or more different words containing those letters. Have fun!
Night is the time I get creative. There is no right and wrong of when, where, or how to do NaNoWriMo. It is a process I have bought into, hook, line, and sinker, except I don’t fish, except for words. I haven’t started writing for today but the latest count is 13,349. Hopefully, by the end of today, I will have at least the requisite 15,003. Try as I might I can’t seem to get into it. For once it is easier to write here on the blog than any other place.
The light is good. Wish it were more bright. No, it is the thought process that is broken. I will need to fight for this day’s words. The biggest fright for me is to get behind in the wordage. Other people seem to do a ton of words and can catch up easily. Not me. I could run a marathon more than makeup words. The height of my days in November is when I post my tally and no I am ahead of the goal. Even better, to be caught up in the blight of my characters’ dilemma and the words don’t quit. The sight of a page filled with story that was fun to write is the best feeling ever!
Okay, time is getting tight.
Happy Nano! Happy Stream of Consciousness Saturday!
And adult sock bootie! And then I needed to get bootie two up and running so that I wouldn’t lose the stitch markers. So the toe on number two is done. I like the part where you get to the place you can start pulling the toe closed. I’ll probably get to that part tomorrow. Anyway, my hands are hurting and it was hard to stop knitting so I could get to my writing.
I have only written a couple hundred words so far today. But my grand total so far is {drum roll, please} 12,129. I just didn’t want to get caught up in the writing and get too distracted from getting out a blog today and not after midnight.
Have a good Friday, everyone. Get tons of words!
Word count 11,751. Keeping it steady, at least.
Just in case you think all I do is write, very slowly, and nothing else is happening in my life:
Yeah, Kali isn’t impressed with NaNoWriMo. If it doesn’t involve her in my lap it is worthless.
And here is a gratuitous picture of the sunset two nights ago.
The air quality has been stagnant. We have a holding pattern of daytime highs in the low 60s and nights between high teens and twenties.
I’ve got a few socks that are almost done. Maybe one of them will hit Finished Friday???
Hope all of you are doing well. I hope my fellow NaNo-ers are getting words out the kazoo!
Don’t ya just love it when a character from one book meets the new characters in the new book?
Thank you, Linda G. Hill, for One-liner Wednesday. The easiest prompt there is!
This has been the best writing day yet. As you can see I am done with more than the number of words I need for today. 10,145 I may write more words later as I am so excited that Dusty, a flamboyant, gene-popper from, I think, my third novel, Dusty’s Love Lair, just met Walter at Walter Balter’s Dance Studio. Now the story is writing itself! Yay!
Well, this seems to be how NaNo is working for me. I have it open all day. 1,667 seems a lot of words! EVERYDAY! But I still type away and get there before midnight. I just don’t want to put off blogging until midnight. So the score is 7,961. I’m supposed to be at 8,335. So close and yet so far!!!!! Sometimes 410 words are the hardest to get. But I will. I know it! My main character just landed on a planet. That should be worth some words right there, don’t you think? I hope you are all doing well, NaNo or No. Good luck with your writing! (Oh, and I am still doing knitting, so…)
But I will be before I turn off this computer tonight. I just wanted a break and say hi. HI! I am at 6,052 words right now. I need to be at 6,668. So gotta go! At least my character is zooming in Outerspace so that makes a fun write! Cheerio!
