Wow, it’s the first of the month and I actually have the picture of this month’s coffee cup ready. For this month, I chose a very fall-ish cup. It’s in shades of brown and you can see that the interior of the cup has the same coloration. There’s a handle that’s more like a twig and a cluster of leaves with acorns. I’ve used it all day and it’s comfortable to hold and drink from.<\/p>\n
I actually picked this one up last month at the same time as I spotted my December cup. I’ve been picking the cups up in various places, but November and December are both are from Home Goods. They tend to have some interesting household items for not much cost. At least their coffee cups are cheaper than the same old\/same old ones in the grocery store and discount stores.<\/p>\n
Mostly, the changing cups of the month gives me a lift and keep my spirits up.<\/p>\n
November 1st is also the start of NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month. You sign up and then try to write a novel in a month or 50,000 words. I’ve set myself a goal of between 2,000 or 2,500 words per day. I think I might have to take a few days off because my son is flying down for Thanksgiving, so I’m hoping to get ahead a bit. Today, I managed 2,163 words.<\/p>\n
I’ve got several starts on novels in my writing folder. The rules say you can’t work on anything you started and I’ve had this idea in my head for a while. I have a few scattered scenes and today I managed to write up two of them and then it just flowed into the next one. I’m hoping I can keep going. What I’ve promised myself is that each day, I’ll just keep going. I won’t look back. I won’t worry that it isn’t perfect. I won’t even care if I switch point of view because that will all be fixed once the novel is written and I go over it to bring it into shape and closer to a finished novel.<\/p>\n
Right now, I’m feeling pretty good about what I’ve done.<\/p>\n
To top off the day, I got the dining room table mostly cleared off. [Hyperion: And I helped!] Remember — company for Thanksgiving, sort of need the table for that. It could take me all month to completely clear it off but today was a good start. Also, finished one of my books I’m reviewing for December, I’m hoping to write that review up tomorrow — if I can manage it.<\/p>\n
Looks like November is going to be a very busy month for many, many reasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
