NaNoWriMo to the rescue!

I've actually written for two days in a row and have a whopping total now of five thousand and something. This novel challenge is just what I needed to jump start my lazy bum and get me typing out those words. I feel great! Only 28 more days of this and I should be truly back in the habit and ready to get those books out to there to the publishers and agents again.

I'm FREEEEEEEE!

Okay, so I always start out good and get bogged down in the middle, but I have actually won this event several times, so I'm going to do it again this year. Really, I am, why don't you believe me?

Anyway, to all my fellow crazy NaNo's out there... Write On!

Snap Out Of It Norma!

So I haven't written anything for months... my life still isn't any closer to being in order than it was back when I said that I would write as soon as I got things in order. Enough is a enough.

Today I'm going to shove the clutter off of my writing desk and write. I'm starting with this blog entry. Well, okay, I'm sitting on the bed because the desk is full, but you get the idea. I'M WRITING SOMETHING!
Life is better already just for having made the decision to stop putting it off and just do it.

Goal: Write something, anything, at least five days a week. (I can do that.)
I have peaches to can and laundry to do, but that will just have to wait.

I'll let you know how it goes, (I promise), unless I break my neck tripping over the pile of clutter on the floor by the desk, in which case, I will try to blog from my hospital bed.

Yup, I'm committed. I should probably be institutionalized, but committed will have to do for now.
