now I’m having fun with, oh, you know, the blogs and stuff. must close browser. must go back to writing. (I think this is why I’m more productive with ye olde pen & paper.)
procrastinating is a bad thing
made a phone call I’ve been meaning to make for a while, and ended up having a rather nice conversation.
and of course, I’ve been writing, which is something I find myself procrastinating on a lot for some reason.
oh, and procrastinating about budgets? don’t do it! (for the love of god!)
shhhhh…don’t tell anybody
I’m trying for “NaNoWriMo”:http://www.nanowrimo.org/ — not doing something new, but trying to churn out as many words for part 2 as I can manage. so far it’s been a good experience…didn’t write anything until day before yesterday, but in those 3 days I’ve gotten somewhere over 4300 words.
I’m writing mostly longhand, on the van as usual, so I’m just estimating using a number I worked out a few weeks ago: 108 words per page.
it’s a damn good experience, really. writing through bouts of not wanting to writing and then getting to that spot where I could write for hours and hours on end.
not putting anything online at this point, tho I might eventually. I’m sure it’s all just incredibly slushy writing, but I find I don’t give a damn.
snow!
I have never, since I’ve been here, seen it snow this early. this morning I woke up to a thin glazing of snow on the lawn, car, neighbor’s roofs, etc. went for a bit of a walk to take pictures, but my battery died and it was starting to rain, so I came back home and went back to bed.
rain turned to snow for a bit, then back to either nothing or drizzle (can’t tell from here); still a little snow on the ground. curious as to how long it’ll stick, or whether it’ll snow again.
I’ve heard a half a dozen people I know say this is going to be a “hard” winter, cold, lots of snow. my fingers are crossed. 😉
