Some things that made me happy.
1.) Well, it's only November 4th, but my new writing ideas seem to be working.
- I don't write in the afternoon, instead I do early morning or evenings
- I made a playlist of songs that go with my story and characters, and I only listen to it when I write
- I bought myself a bag of discount Halloween candy. The bag has thirty packages of peanut M&Ms in it, and I get one package every day if I make my writing goal.
- Yesterday I got stuck, and wrote a stream-of-consciousness complaint about being stuck and not knowing what to write. By the time I was done whinging, I was ready to jump back into my story.
The upshot of all of this is that as of last night, I'm at 8615 words. I'm aiming for 2000 words a day, so I can be done by Thanksgiving.
2.) The other thing that made me happy was seeing this post on my brother-in-law's blog. (Bear in mind that my nephew's only five.)
What makes you happy this week?

admirable
2000 words a day is a good goal. I just aim for a little more than I should, that way I feel great for every word over 1677! It takes me an hour to do... sometimes I write a lot more and other times a little more. One writing buddy of mine is at the 17000 word stage. Amazing! Fun! Keep going!

Thanks!
Part of the reason I'm aiming for 2000 is because my family might not let me hide away and write over Thanksgiving break, so I'm giving myself a cushion. :)
You write faster than I do though, reaching even 1700 words takes me at least an hour and a half. Yah us!!

Awesome!
You two are awesome. Don't ask about my word count, a response will take a long time while Gina tries to resuscitate me from hyperventilating from a panic attack!
Keep at it. :)
