Cheyenne is in writer-girl mode at the moment, and is attempting Camp Nanowrimo this month with a goal of 10,000 words. She’s dragged me into it as well… we’ll see how far I get. I’m making no promises.
Is anyone else doing Nano this month?

I know – I had every intention of doing Nanowrimo this year, and so did the kids – but life just plain got in the way again this year. Thankfully, it’s not the total house displacement of last year’s “our landlord got foreclosed on” mess, but it’s been busy and disorganized enough – family life and otherwise – that we just don’t realistically see it happening. We’re considering doing Jan-no-wri-mo, or winter-mo-wri-mo, or something – sometime when the weather keeps us in, but there’s not so many other things going on! In the meantime, for the writers . . . → Read More: Nanowrimo Update 
Nanowrimo starts tomorrow! Are you participating? Our status? Undetermined. My kids have done the Nanowrimo: Young Writers Program for the last 3 years. Naughty me – I haven’t even asked them yet if they want to this year. Part of me wants to – they really look forward to this every year. And part of me feels like it’s all we need, is one more thing to do right now. We have until November 18th to be out of this house, and as of right now, we still don’t have anywhere to move to. Scary. (Prayers and . . . → Read More: Nanowrimo 2011 (with kids) 
Heavy reliance on the dare jar this week… Fave Excerpt “Jake had to squeeze himself under the seat. I could see a large bump building… and building…luckily, it stopped when it hit the thing that spins when you’re driving to keep it driving. So much for a working car.” – Doodle Today’s Word Count Princess – 100 Doodle – 207 Tiger – 212 Pikachu – 291 Nano Thought For The Day Kids are weird. Weird kids write bizarre things. Bizarre things are funny. Funny is good. Fave Excerpt “Around him were piles and piles of boxes with the word “BACON” written on them. Fireball turned toward them and said, “uh oh” with a burp. – Pikachu Today’s Word Count Princess – 213 Doodle – 215 Tiger – 298 Pikachu – 180
Nano Thought For The Day There were words. Really. But then Princess ran away to grandma’s, and the rest of us got sidetracked playing Munchkin, so nobody logged them. Fave Excerpt “Hey, get your hands off me!” “Oh, sorry, we were just trying to help you.” “HELP? You were pulling my flippers!” - Princess Today’s Word Count Princess – 0 Doodle – 0 Tiger – 0 Pikachu – 0
Nano Thought For The Day Four days in a row, everyone gets words. Definitely a good thing. Fave Excerpt “Then they all had hot dogs with grape jelly and lived happily ever after.” – Tiger Today’s Word Count Princess – 135 Doodle – 286 Tiger – 351 Pikachu – 467
Nano Thought For The Day Just plugging along… Fave Excerpt “What could the gods do?” “Well, my guess is, they have two choices. One, they could let us die. Or two, they could save us, by taking us to heaven, also known as letting us die.” - Doodle Today’s Word Count Princess – 178 Doodle – 235 Tiger – 110 Pikachu – 409
Nano Thought For The Day Less, but consistent. One word in front of the other. Fave Excerpt “We’ll have to go ashore and find some trees.” He looked toward land, and frowned. “But it looks like all we’re going to find is a cave.” – Pikachu Today’s Word Count Princess – 119 Doodle – 263 Tiger – 139 Pikachu – 230
Nano Thought For The Day Yay! A fantastic day. Doodle put in some pretty serious effort, and Tiger didn’t do too shabby either. Fave Excerpt “Meanwhile, the fairies were making a dress and baking a cake.” – Princess Today’s Word Count Princess – 255 Doodle – 672 Tiger – 553 Pikachu – 270 |
