Readjustment


Life is full of expectations and hope. I had wished that I would get 50K words this November, but life has gotten in the way. If I struggled against that goal, only getting 1100-1400 words a day, I would, by now, just give up. I know my psyche. I like my story. I think it holds some fun things that suddenly go with the last book, almost a part two but few of the same characters. They will possibly meet in the end, but I am not sure how. Still, the story itself overlaps. I don’t want to lose the story to the word goal. Does that make sense? So, as of today, I have a new goal of 35,000, giving me a daily goal of 730. It’s so much more doable. Especially when I need more world and character-building. I want a stronger story. This is how I will gain it. I am rarely at the words “the end” on November 30. I have been writing NaNo-way in that I like busting out 30-50k words in a month. It pushes on my creativity. I have done my best with a vague framework ready on the first of the month whenever I choose to do the writing.

Now I can spend unguilty time doing yarn things.

How I feel now, 🙂

NaNo Null


Yve shared on Facebook

Look what I got done today:

Yarns galore. None being told.

Finishing Friday


As soon as I do one more row the sock on the right will be ready for bind-off. The sock on the right could have been finished, but I wanted green on the cuff so I will tink down and add the green from a different part of the skein.
A fine gauge toe finished. On to the foot. I think I’ll do ribbing as I love how the Sneaker Socks feels.
A nice pair of slipper socks started.
Ribbing of a hat finished. Now on to the rest of the hat. I will have to buy more of this buttery soft yarn.
I need to have 28k by now. Sadly, I am 4k behind. So back to work.
Yeah. At this rate I’ll be done December 5. 😥
Saw this on Facebook. Cute, huh?

Shaking Head


Who makes cakes when they need 4,000 words?

I do.

Okay. Time to write. Maybe someday I can play with this yarn!

Empty Progress


The math of 14×1667=

Yeah. I do more math during NaNo than the rest of the year!

My friend and I are both behind. We are finding zooming sprint sessions helps a lot. So we’re going to try one more this evening.

I’ll write a blurb as soon as I know where these characters lead me.

Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment, X-ray to see what could be causing my blood pressure issues. My friends have diagnosed POTS but we’ll see.

To make it worth our while, we plan on getting shopping done, and a battery bought, and dog hunt. I so miss Kali. I want another dog! So I guess that’s a couple requests for good thoughts and prayers.

Maybe there’s a dog out there that needs me as much as I need a dog?

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “create.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!

Creating can be fun, if you have all the time in the world and no stress. But when guilt gangs up on creative juices it seems there is no more juice.

Yep, that’s what is happening with the NaNoWriMo. I have 16,115 words at this moment. I’m going to go find prompts to move the story along. I need 18,337. See ya tomorrow!

Finishing Friday


Maybe.

You see these crazy fun socks were nearly to the heel part. I found a mistake. Tinking back.

See the markers up near the needles? That’s how far I needed to tink.
This yarn is so cute and fun! Makes me want to do them up nice.
Now just a little more than toes. But a chance to make a better pair.

A quick NaNoWriMo report. Empty now has 15,231 words. I should have 16,670. So back to the storyboard.

One-Liner Wednesday


Thank you, Linda, for One-Liner Wednesday

I’m tired but still need to write 707 words before bed. 👋


Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “meat/meet/mete.” Use one or use ’em all for bonus points. Have fun!

Linda’s Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt.

Meeting the word count in NaNoWriMo is the challenge of November. Today I should have a total of 6,668 words. No one is going to mete out punishment for not reaching that goal, but I try not to write things that are not fun for me. That means I want a story I can chew on. Something meaty. Even if my main characters are vegetarian.

By the way, my project is entitled “Empty.” And it no longer is. I actually have 6,585. My characters are in trouble so I need to get back and make it worse before heading to bed.

Here’s a working cover:

Imagine being this dancer but you look in the mirror to see an empty room.

No vampire, but something is up. I don’t know until my characters tell me. It’s fun!

One-Liner Wednesday


2,106 words in a novel titled Empty and I still don’t know what I’m writing.
