Picture a Day: This is what a NaNoWriMo Winner looks like.

November 30, 2007
I did it! Here’s the description straight off of the photo on flickr, because for some twisted reason I have it marked as friends and family there but am putting on a public blog. My flickr gets more traffic, I guess, and more creepy comments about my feet.
I won NaNoWriMo today.
If you’re unfamiliar [...]

Picture a Day: Coca Cola

November 28, 2007
I couldn’t resist buying this bottle of coke. It’s so cute!
NaNoWriMo update:
Wow, I took a week off, that week when I hardly updated here? It wasn’t because I was embroiled in my novel. I just… I had a great week, I felt very positive and productive in other ways and now, when I’m [...]

Picture a Day: Kissing Bokeh

November 17, 2007
Yes! We started putting up the Christmas tree today, after we put the Halloween decorations away in the garage. If you think it’s too early, I’m not going to apologize. We like to eke as much fun and awesomeness out of everything that is fun and awesome as we possibly can. That’s just [...]

Picture a Day: Bathtub lounging is serious business

November 16, 2007
It’s hard to make myself post on the weekends. It’s also hard to make myself write on the weekends. I rallied round with some terrible romance novel reading within my novel. Erm, there will be a doozy of a last sentence in my next post. ;) I said doozy, hahaha.

Picture a Day: Whoops

November 12, 2007
This is my facial reaction to almost forgetting to take a picture of myself today. Or, it’s me pretending to have a facial reaction to associate with that. I feel so distracted today in a very good, musical way. My parents came and took me to lunch again and I found a bunch [...]

Picture a Day: Simple

November 11, 2007
Today was such a day for simple pleasures. After the drudgery of grocery shopping, of course. Walks, showers, pizza, way too many photos that turned out the way I wanted them to, listening to music and talking and not talking. Shaun got mostly caught up on his NaNoWriMo and I’m not far behind [...]

Picture a Day: I didn’t feel it…

November 9, 2007
Today I didn’t feel like writing and I didn’t feel very good about myself.
I sat down and word warred with Shaun and in two half hour sessions got 2,255 words down. They’re actually the best I’ve written so far this month. I laid down in bed and took boring, dark pictures and fixed [...]

Picture a day: Blue Jeans

November 8, 2007
Wow, NaNoWriMo is supposed to get harder the second week. I’m not having trouble keeping up, exactly, but I felt pretty awful about all of the words I wrote today. But I don’t care, and I guess that’s what makes me a winner. haha.
Last sentence I wrote:
Hugh had failed time and time again.
I [...]

Picture a Day: Juxtaposition

November 7, 2007
I got this typewriter, as I said, yesterday. It’s an L.C. Smith No. 8 from 1931. It types (and would do fine) if I had a ribbon for it. The X doesn’t work (might be able to fix it) it’s dusty (smells awesome, actually), rusty and chipped.
I put it next to the laptop [...]

Picture a Day: NaNoWriMo Day Five

November 5, 2007
I’m still on track, mind you, even though I didn’t write anything at all on the 4th. One half hour word war and I’m back on top of things. The problem is I’m starting to feel like I don’t have a plot, or not much of one to speak of. It’s not a [...]
