Catching Up III

On Sunday, DH woke up with a cold, and so did I. He went and picked up DD, and we watched football and hung ornaments on the tree when they came back. I cleared off the mantel and we strung a lighted garland on top of it. I put my Santa collection along the mantel and I have to say, it almost looks like something you'd see on HGTV. :)

We also cleaned off the dining room table, and I put a new vinyl Christmas tablecloth and placemats on it. DD was so impressed that we had to eat supper in the dining room.

While DH went to pick up DD, I had managed to write one and a half of the Nano entries I had fallen behind on. Later in the evening, after DD went to bed, I wrote another one and a half entries.

Monday was back to work as usual--even the rain was back. On one hand, the weekend passed somewhat slowly. I didn't find myself dreading Monday like I usually do, but these past couple of days have absolutely flown by.

I spent Monday and Tuesday nights frantically trying to finish up writing for Nanowrimo. Monday was difficult because I could only get half of what I wanted to get written done. Sigh. But on Tuesday night, DD went to bed at 7pm so I had an extra hour to type away. I finished the final words around 9:30pm and posted everything around 10pm. Yay me!

I had a feeling of letdown when I verified my Nanovel over at the site. I guess I felt that way because the WIP isn't finished yet, and I feel the characters have more to say. The WIP won't be finished until maybe the end of December. I want to keep u pmy momentum. I wrote more about my Nano experience in my journal.

Even though Nano is over, I will still write daily. In addition, I signed up for a small journal-card exchange for a group I'm in. I have to make seven 2.5" x 3.5" cards by this weekend and mail them out. Eeek.

I hope to be blogging again more regularly. I have a new computer at work, and it's not hooked up to the internet yet.

Yes, I'm jonesing for a fix.

A bientôt, mes amis!
