Dandelions and Daydreams

Our anniversary pictures this year.

It’s been raining for a million years. I don’t think it will ever stop. I walked home in the rain listening to Anne of Green Gables on my new MP3 player. Each step was “Thrillier” than the last. I was listening to the part where Anne and Diana run into the spare bedroom and jump on Diana’s Aunt Josephine.

You can see from my progress bar that I am a bit behind on my novel. I’ve figured it out and If I can get 2000-2500 words per day I can finish on time. I restarted once. Stupid perfectionist me! I am at the same place today as I was when I restarted. I hit about 2000 words and freeze up. I think I need some more development before I am a writer, but I can keep on dreaming. I must keep on dreaming.

This is one of the best pictures from our trip. I think this is over St. Mary’s lake at Many Glacier on the East side of the park.

It was a birthday trip. Happy birthday to me.

We had snow last night. It’s actually the second snow of the season. I’ve been doing a lot of reading for my novel. This should be a good weekend for writing the forecast says rain, rain, and more rain still.

That’s how many words I’ve gotten done on my novel. Yes, I took the plunge and signed up for NaNoWriMo. By the end of November I will have written the Great American Novel–or at least the greatest novel that I have attempted.

I haven’t really done anything special to rev up for this. I plan on writing during all my spare time and trying to get as far ahead as I can. I ate Raspberry fruit dreams today as my reward for meeting the first day’s word count. I also gulped down some English Breakfast tea before I walked to work.

The weather has turned cold. I’m glad that Writing month is in November when I really don’t want to go outside. It snowed on Sunday night. We went out to some friends to watch America’s Funniest Home Videos. One of Brenton’s co-workers won the $10,000 prize that night. Way cool. He got a nephew to wear a dog shock collar and video tape it. Yeah it was all staged, but if was funny when level six floored the guy.

Still waiting for DSL to come through. I’ll be doing a redesign then hopefully. I’ve got big plans in the till. Life is good.
