NaNo Update and Award

I'm not doing too shabby so far. I've got 8,548 words as of end of writing on Thursday night. I can live with that. Especially if I can keep it up.

It's interesting as I'm writing because I'll get hung up on how to do something and then I have a duh moment. You see, this is NaNo. I don't have to get hung up on things like I normally would. I can just leave myself a comment and move on.

Award
Author Marsha Ward was kind enough to give me the One Lovely Blog Award. Because of NaNo I'm going to cheat. For some reason everyone is supposed to forward it on to 15 (yes, that's right, FIFTEEN) other blogs. I don't have time. But since many blog awards are satisfied with 7, and this particular award asks for 7 things about me I'm going to stick with 7. Hey, it's good enough for Voldie Baby, it'll have to work for me.

So if you want to be bored stupid you can check a previous post here for some random person tidbits.

Please check out Marsha's blog and say Howdy (she writes Westerns).

And check out these following awesome peeps:

  2. I'm with mooderino.

    Funny, but that's EXACTLY how many words I have done so far!

    Quite a coincidence.

  3. That is a pretty amazing coincidence. That's what happens you you schedule a post, do some sprint writing, and then are so tired you just go to bed.

    Fixed now. lol

  5. Great job writing Donna! and you totally rock for passing awards along. I would be lame and use NaNo as an excuse not to do anything but write.

    Keep up the good work!

  6. Hey Donna: You might have left me a message at NaNo and then maybe not. I checked and it said there was one,when I went back it was gone. Could be me, could be them. My Caribbean Connection is running really slow today. It's rainy and cold 76, here. I know I'll get no sympathy, but I'm freezing.

    Looks like your really kickin' it. Great work and very encouraging to me.

  13. I always wondered that about Obi-wan. I just always assumed he was having an off day. We are with in 20 words, but yours is more impressive because you have a day job. Keep it up :)

  15. Awesome job so far, Donna.

    That's a smart idea about the comment. I should try that even if I'm not participating in NaNo. It would save me from getting distracted while doing "research". :D
