NaNoWriMo update!



We are just over a week into NaNoWriMo! I'm behind in my word count goal, but feeling really good about the progression of my story. My friends Scott and Hannah came over this morning and we closed ourselves into the bungalow at my condo complex and wrote for a few hours. Marc was kind enough to watch the baby while I wrote (and also while I threw a Jamberry party later this afternoon). It was so good to get some solid writing time in. I've really been struggling with finding time to sit down the write, between work and hanging out with the baby, especially during the week. I am going to try to get at least a little more writing in on weekdays, but I really enjoyed being able to get caught up on the weekend. 

My total word count is 5497 so far!

NaNoWriMo Day 1: I CHEATED

Image
I worked 55 and a half hours this week.  I'm so tired.  Regardless of THAT, though, I knew that I wanted to come home and start NaNoWriMo (for those of you unfamiliar, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month... you write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November... about 1,667 words a day!).  I'm crazy. I'm also doing NaBloPoMo... I think that's what it's called. National Blog Posting Month? Anyways, so that's a little more simple. All I have to do is at least post a blog post a day. I REALLY miss writing my blog, and I think NaBloPoMo would be a good way to get back into the habit. What's that thing I keep seeing on Pinterest? It only takes 21 days to make a habit? We'll see.  RIGHT, back to the cheating.  My story idea for the novel I'm writing came to me back in November 2011. Marc and I were getting ready to celebrate our first anniversary. I was listening to a lot of Death Cab for Cutie at that time (and all

So long, 2010!

Image
I love New Years. It's fun to look back on the year, and relive all of the things that happened. For me, 2010 was pretty awesome. In 2010, I turned 24, which is a pretty good age so far. I also got married, which was definitely a first for me. Add in moving across the country to somewhere completely new and unexplored, and graduating from college, and it all comes out to be a pretty exciting 12 months. Naturally, I fully expect 2011 to be just as exciting. I have an internship interview with The Stranger , a alt-weekly newspaper based out of Seattle, for next week Wednesday. I have been searching and searching for jobs, and there is next to nothing available in the journalism world. Maybe if I get the internship there, it will help to get my foot in the door, or at least beef up my wimpy resume a bit. A friend of ours, Lauren, used to live out here in Everett before she moved back to Florida. She was sweet enough to get in touch with some of her friends who still live here,

Pining and Pinning

Image
I go to bed early. We're talking like 8:30-9:00. For somebody who used to bounce off the walls at 3 am in college, it's a nice change. I might not fall asleep until quite a bit later, but the baby and I end up in bed, snuggly and cozy after Jeopardy, dinner, and bath time. We read a story or two, he snuggles in for the night and falls asleep, and then I watch Netflix and play on Pinterest while Marc catches up on his TV shows before he joins the baby and I in bed. I wish I could magically create an extra two hours a day. I would use them to make all of my Pinterest dreams come true. My house would be organized and cleaned with homemade, natural cleaners. Our walls would be adorned with craft projects, and I would learn to sew Oliver's clothes. My planner would be adorned and decorated... maybe I'd need three extra hours.  Here are some of my latest pins.
