NaNoWriMo - National Novel Writing Month

[tilt]

LOL.. start with Mistborn trilogy, they are a quick read and show off his skill .. he's very action packed in his writing, you can see the "movie" rolling in your mind

[Diamond]

Just hit 14K (well... two words short ). I don't think I'll hit 50K, but this has actually motivated me to really WRITE, so even if I don't make it, it was totally worth it.

[Mouse]

Wow - a 4000 word leap! Congratulations

And I've just come down with an almighty head cold! LOL!

Nothing like trying to imagine stuff when your head is pounding

Well, if you don't make it to 50,000 words this year, there's always next year.

[Diamond]

I wrote almost 1000 words at work today. Slow Monday... better enjoy those while I can, the holidays will put an end to that.

[Mouse]

Holidays?

You must be one of those people who volunteer to work over Christmas! (I worked every Christmas for 6 years in a row when I last had a job, but it can be quite good fun in a care home )

Maybe it won't be as bad as all that, with everyone else in all the other companies also taking holidays

[Diamond]

Unfortunately I am an optician. Unfortunate because opticians don't get any downtime from late November through March, as everyone is trying to frantically use up their insurance benefits and flex spending monies. We're closed on the actual holidays, but the last two new year's eves have been a f**king slog. The year before last, new year's eve of 2015, I was at work from about 7AM to almost 11PM. Bleh.

[Mouse]

I think things are a bit different in the UK. We don't have insurance benefits to be using them up, so I guess opticians in the UK take leave whenever they like.

[Diamond]

Damn you, UK opticians. Damn you. Now get off my lawn. *shakes fist*

So "Girl has no name" has passed the 50k mark - congrats to her.. R.D.Henry has passed 40k and Diamond is past 20k now... I'm way behind with 15k but working hard to catch up, and finish on time (probably in the last minute)
