Houston. the tent is down

The tent is OFFICIALLY down.

 It has been very windy all day because of a cold front moving in. Well, I went outside with the dogs and discovered my much beloved tent had blown completely down and was in the woods, wrapped around the trees. I had to go out and rescue it from the trees and I took it down and put it away.      It was up from 21 June until today 16 November. That was a pretty darn good run and it went down by natural causes.

the novel continues

Yes, I am still working on the novel. I don't have a title yet but I am up over 10,000 words (10,734 to be exact-) It is going along fairly well. I am pleased but I keep falling a bout a day behind and I can't seem to get caught up. I am going to try the suggestion of just writing ten or twenty words at a time. That helped yesterday.

Here's the deal...

Okay..here's the plot:

   A woman living a pretty boring life as an English teacher suddenly receives an huge  inheritance from an aunt that she hardly knew. The inheritance is staggering....over a million dollars. But she finds out that in order to get the million dollars, she not only has to keep the aunt's store open, she has to fend off EVIL for the next five years. (Oh..and the aunt was actually her mother). That's why she has the power to fight off EVIL. (she figures all that out as the story goes along)..

     :-)

here's the deal....

Okay... I guess I shifted gears too fast and owe everyone an explanation.. I have started my NaNoWriMo project today. 

National Novel Writing Month 

I am going to TRY and write a novel in 30 days and to do so, I have to write a minmum of 1667 words a day. I started off today with 1693 words that was easier and faster than I thought it would be and I actually like my storyline . I hope it continues to go well..

I am just going to use this journal to keep track of my word count. (I'll post any tent news as well but this is going to be the NanoWriMo journal for at least 30 days..)

Keep chekcing in...feel free to ask questions, nudge me if I am not keeping up and I will try and keep everyone up to date on my progress. All words of encouagment will be duly noted.

Thanks!     "-)

Pouring...

It is STILL pouring with rain (3 days now) so ithink I'd better go out to the tent and bring the stuff in. I don't want it to get wet and I don't want to have to wash it all again. I'll do that when I go out to feed Persimmon. The tent is sad but I think the tent's useable time is coming to an end.

Sad,,,,

The tent is looking very sad. It has been raining for the last couple of days and it is getting down into the 40's at night. The tent was much happier this summer. :-(

Out like a light...

Well....I must admit last night was very pleasant. I had nice clean blankets and it was just a little cool, not cold or damp or rainy. I headed out to the tent at 10:30.       I was very tired because I had gone to the gym. So...I settled in and tried to do one puzzle but got no where before I fell sound asleep. I am glad to say, I slept all night and it was very nice. I remember looking at my watch at 2:36 and about 4:30 but I made no effort to get up. I guess I was still pretty much asleep when I did that because I finally woke up at 6:35. i slept very well and I feel okay this morning.
