So Ends Day 9 of NaNoWriMo

Posted on November 9, 2014 by Beth

Here it is, the end of day 9 of NaNoWriMo. I’m at 17,564 words. I’m a bit ahead of the game, which is good because I took the day off. The whole day. That’s the first time in weeks that I haven’t written something for the day.

And I guess technically that’s not quite true. I actually edited a piece — part 2 of my space opera, The Earth Hypothesis. Edited and published it. Well, it’s still in review right now, but soon enough, it will be up and live. It’s up and available! Get it while the e-ink is still warm.

So, there’s that. But I didn’t write anything on Thornwood — my WriMo piece. But of course, the night’s not over. I may yet write! But I was glad to take the day off. We had a lovely morning and then a fun day or playing games and goofing off. And humans have to do that sometimes. The hard drive can’t just spin all the time — tho I guess it does actually spin all the time….  hmm, new metaphor, please.

As if to thank us for taking the day to play, Debbie read a thought provoking article today about productivity. I guess it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
