IT SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME....

Sometimes you're a gold medal swimmer, cruising into the last lap of the race waiting to feel the rush of success.

And sometimes you're the one wearing the painfully tight swimsuit, leaping from the high-dive and landing with a belly flop.

Guess which one I am today?

LOL, NANO sounded like a good idea at the time, but alas, my belly flop was so big it set off a tsunami. I finished the month with a little over 20,000 words. While not shameful in its own right, it's certainly not medal worthy in NANO-land. In addition to regular holiday stuff, we had two birthdays and I started the part time job I mentioned previously. Word count was not meant to be! But despair not, today marks the start of another month, another set of fresh days to make something happen =)

In other news...

I'm getting an ASUS netbook, courtesy of hubby!!!

Woohoo for 20K!!! That's great!

That tsunami? That was caused by MY belly flop of a Nano...

Catherine West said...

Well, you get points for trying!!! Personally I know I would never make it, so I don't bother. :0)
Wishing you and yours a very blessed Christmas! Can't believe we are in December already!!

20,000 is better than none, so a big kudos to you! And enjoy that netbook, we have one and use it often. Their portability is great.

Ha. Wanna know how far I got in NaNo this year? I signed up. Seriously.
Congrats on your 20K!

Hey, you have had a lot going on. God only allows so many burners on the stove (lit ones, that is!)

You go, girl. I'm proud of you.

You get an A for effort. I bet the words that you did write were very meaningful.
