(nano) Getting ready

I'm starting my first Word War of the weekend in FM chat at 11:50 am. My goal for the weekend? Two-fold.

1. 3/4 of my Seasons edits
2. 15k on Dreams

I'm also cleaning my dining room and living room this weekend, doing enough laundry for 4 days of work, and cooking. But for the next hour, I'm writing.

I'll post updates during the day.

(nano) Just got some really, really good news.

I have to share this. When I went to NegaCon this year, I met a wonderful lady who teaches at an alternative school for disadvantage kids in Maine, who attended my writing panel and whom I donated a set of the Guides to. I just have to share this email she sent me.

The kids are enjoy novel writing so very much! They can't wait to get to class and get started. They carry their notebooks everywhere just in case they get a few minutes to write. I am trying to keep up with them, but to no avail. One of my guys, D, wrote for two days and then decided to start all over again because he had a much better idea, and he has worked his fingers to the bone catching up again! It is great to see the enthusiasm they have for this project! Thanks again for turning us on to this project! The greeting if the day for this class is "Happy Noveling"

I am bouncing. All over. What a great email! I'm checking to see if I can send prizes to the winners. Hell, I want to send prizes to all of them!

This is just too cool, and I had to share. They don't have Net access, but definitely, keep them in your thoughts.

(nano) Update one

Yes, I suck at updates. Sorry.

1239 words so far. But I have bacon and provolone pizza, and Barqs. I am settling in for a long night.

blue_vervain, what's your count so far? Are you kicking my ass yet? :p

(nano) Musings...

What is it about writing that makes me crave salt, soda and pizza?

Discuss.

WC Update: 1892 for the day.
