Well, it's the end of NaNoWriMo month and, needless to say, I didn't come close to writing my novel. But I have some ideas for next year. For instance....get an idea. And do a little research. And turn off the TV. But mostly, don't start writing about an event that is still too fresh in your mind.
My hats off to anyone that tried (even if you didn't get any further than I did). The NaNoWriMo community is a hoot and I definitely plan on trying it again next year.
Hey everyone,
I now have some in common with Mr. Richard Petty, one of my favorite drivers. His famous car was numbered 43. Today, the birthdate on driver's license indicates that my number is 43 as well.
It's been an eventful year for me. Shortly before I began this blog over a year ago, I lost one of dear cats, Cymbah. A little less than four short months ago I lost Spot. I'm still not over that one.
But on the plus side, I had several good things happen (I've written about them previously on the blog....I leave it as an exercise for the reader to find them):
- I took in Mickey and Maggie. They can't replace the loss of Cymbah and Spot, but they are an absolute joy (yes, I know I owe all of you some pictures!).
- On the work front, I took over a new position and things have been going better than I expected. Apparantly, the people I work with think higher of me that I do myself.
- I finally got some overdue dental work done. I can't wait to finally pay the bill in February (note the sly sarcasm in that statement).
I think that's enough for one year.
I knew the date was near, but I didn't realize it had already passed. What day, you may ask?
Why, the anniversary of this blog. It was a year ago yesterday that "Ensign Eddie's Extravaganza" entered the blogosphere.
A lot has happened to me over this past year. I plan to write more about it this weekend. Of course, I've been planning to write that novel too, and yet it still sits there mocking me.
Anyway, it's been a pleasure to write to all of you this year (even with all of the heartache it brought). Hopefully, this coming year will be better.
I have officially joined the NaNoWriMo site as "Ensign_Eddie" (of course).
Now I just have to write the thing...
