Happy NaNo to you ! (I am at 8173 words)




Well it is day five of National Novel Writer's Month. No this is not some kind of gimmick by the greeting card people like grandparents day or bosses day. For novelists or want-to-be novelists, it is the month (30 days to exact) to write a 50,000 word novel. Is it a contest? Well, yes and no. Yes because you are competing to get to the 50,000 word finish line and also no- because you are only competing with yourself.

How am I doing well click this link to see my profile and updated word count:

Happy Halloween and Happy National Novel Writing Month!

Here's the top ten:
1- My first day of military retirement.

2- We had a great halloween at our place. Pix will be coming. Seems today isn't a good day to upload them to the blogger. (I've tried twice and failed)

3- Tigers made it to the World Series- (but lost).

4- I am dropping off my old uniforms at the "Thift Shop".

5- It's National Novel Writer's Month. I'll make my 2nd attempt to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 day. I went to the Kick off Potluck at Scripps Ranch Library and met some wonderful writers and had a great time. I'm looking forward to this year with excitement and enthusiasm. Wish me luck with NaNoWriMo.

6- Sometihng new Cerac 3-D. Probably the coolest invention in dentistry. CAD-CAM technology to produce all porcelain crowns without a lab. And we'll be trying it out.

7. November 7th is election day.

8. My new set of business cards arrived.

9. I'm using David Allen's "Getting Things Done" philosophy with my Palm Pilot and finding it very useful. Where was this idea ten years ago when I needed it most?

10. It's just friggin' great to be alive.
