NaNo Day....what is today?

I'm plodding along on my NaNo novel---not like Chessie who has 25k in 3 days (amazing!)--but I'm on schedule with 5k this morning (and I just deleted 500 words of yuck).

I don't plan on blogging much this month--between NaNoing, two new books I absolutely have to read (Crossed and The Iron Knight), installing new flooring in our house, critiquing a book for the awesome Erika, the release of Skyrim and visiting my parents over Thanksgiving....I need to focus on other things. But I will be commenting and leaving random updates on my NaNo progress.

What are you excited about this month?

Hehe, I never expect to show up in blog posts...

Congrats on the 5k! This month...I'm excited about seeing who's going to make the cut in the MSFV Baker's Dozen. I'm also excited about the books I'm going to get to read.

I'm most excited to read your critique of my manuscript! Thanks for squeezing me into your busy life (and for the link to my blog).

I'm excited about seeing my hubby during Thanksgiving. Also, getting my critique back for CP.

I'm doing Nano but it's a modified version.

Wow! I thought my 10,205 words was doing pretty good, but 25k? Do I hear a "DANG!" coming?

*muffles* "Dang!"

Why thank you, Mr. Whats-His-Name!

But wish you luck! I'm finding little rewards to yourself here and there are the way to push through it. I mean, do you REALLY need to get up and take a shower? NO! You EARN it with 500 words!

I feel like I'm my own personal drill Sargent! Why didn't I ever do this before?

I am excited about going to Disneyland this month and seeing the holiday lights...and of course, finishing revisions on the ol' ms.

Yeah, Chessie blows my mind. I'm excited about my birthday (on the 24th), and MAILING OFF MY THESIS ON MONDAY (AHHH!), and SHATTER ME by Tahereh Mafi coming out on Tuesday! This is a good month.
Have a great month! Good luck on NaNo!

Sounds like you are doing great! I'm excited about my family all having days off at the same time. That is a rare occurrence. Congrats on your award!

I am excited about getting in as much fishing as possible before it gets really cold and focusing more on my own writing now that NCW classes are slowing down for the holidays.

Happy writing!

You are busy. Best to you with NaNo.

I'm hoping to get my writing projects where I want them to be by the end of November.

Hello there,
I am just popping over from Alex's blog hop. I have been trying to do a few a day or when I get some free time. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to get around to you, it's just that there are so many phew!! So "hello" and great blog. I will pop by as often as I can. Good to "meet" you.
Eve :)

I just want to say that every day I feel a little sad that you're not on Twitter, especially when I tag a tweet #cplove. *sigh*

Anyway. Thinking of you. Hope the Nano is going well!
