Plugging Away

Work has been hectic, but today I scored donations of Krispy Kremes and Starbucks for the large meeting I'm putting on next week. How bad could a day that ends like that be, I ask you?

Afer work I went shopping at Toys R Us -- they're having a big sale and, let's face it, Christmas shopping waits for nothing, not even NaNoWriMo. I was on sensory overload after about 10 minutes in that store, but it was worth it because it was among my last stops and now I'm about 75% finished with Christmas prep!

The whole Christmas card thing is always a hassle for me because NaNo no sooner ends than I have to scramble to get them out. Today I at least got color copies made of the photo page of my annual letter. I've actually already written much of the letter itself, as well, so I should be in good shape to get them out on time ESPECIALLY if I finish my novel early!

I'm at 15186 and at my creative wit's end for the evening. I think I found the title of my book, too, but am still mulling that one over before committing to it.

We had quite a group of hardworking novelists at Panera tonight -- 8 of us. I got about 1300 words written while there, and more at home. Feels good!
