I haven't written all weekend, but I did clean out the front closet! I didn't get to edit the last book, but I did get 25 animals made for the book I'm making for my niece... looks like all I am doing is what I don't want to particularly want to do.
Like now, I am at break, at work, eating at my computer. I forgot my thumb drive, so can't edit and too lazy to write and then send myself, to copy and paste together. I am just not into this writing thing this week.
By the weekend, I will be writing my guts out - my husband, my friend, my soul mate is going to either Tampa or Denver or somewhere on Thursday and not coming back until late Saturday night. I will be alone in the house with the two monsters all day Friday and Saturday (until I make the 90 minute trip to the airport and pick him up at 2200 or for the regular people - 9:30pm). So I intend to get a lot of words counted and get that last book done.
THEN I just have to get the July and August Camp novels published...let's just say, before my November NaNoWriMo time is up. I want NOTHING to keep me from winning again....
So, off I go to hang blood. Yeah, it's always something keeping me from my real passion - writing...

I'm officially a loser...
Even though this camp - August version of www.CampNaNoWriMo.org had 31 days instead of 30 days, but I couldn't do it. I didn't finish the book. I didn't make the 50,000 words. Instead, I was selfish, I slept when I should have been writing.
So, I didn't 'win' this month, but I still feel ok. I entered a contest that my mom told me about - it's a short story contest for a leading woman's magazine. Good Housekeeping has contests every so often and this one is about what our lives are like now, as women.
Well, mine is stressfull compared to my mom's life - she was (when I was growing up) a housewife. She didn't have a job, didn't have a car, made every thing homemade, and loved us.
I've worked full time, have a car, put myself thru college as I was still trying to keep the house and two kids alive and well as being a good wife etc. That is what my story is about. The nine lives that make up the 'me'. It is only just under 3500 words, thus the short story.
So, a loser, but a contenter in this contest... oh, well. I just need to wait until February to find out if I even placed! Well, I will finish my camp novel by then. I promise!
