Kat's Tales

Oy, these past few days have been INSANE! R on vacation + Thanksgiving holidays + Christmas shopping + NaNo = NO online playtime for Kat. *pouts* Can you believe that?!!

( It's all in the details! )

So after getting home from Riley's, instead of doing laundry I put in a few more hours of writing. The current totals are...*insert drumroll* 44177 words--which means my one day total for yesterday? Six. Thousand. Words. Holy Moley, I don't think I've ever done six thousand words in twelve hours before!



My apologies to all for being AWOL these past few days. There was just no time, you know? Nonetheless, I do hope all of you had a GREAT holiday (for those who celebrate it) and a fantastic weekend, too! I'll be trying to catch up with comments and such, but realistically that likely will not happen until the end of the week when NaNo is over with for another year--and hopefully by then I'll be having one of NaNo's nifty little purple bars by my name on their site and a certificate that proudly proclaims that I'm a winner again this year! :D

Now it's off to pack up Rad (my lappy) and head out to Starbucks for today's write-in! Hmm...wonder if I can pull off another 6k today??? :D

And I made it to 25k with few extra words to spare! *does happy dance* I needed almost 3000 words when I got to the Write-In at Starbucks last night. It was supposed to run from 6-8, but there were a few of us who stayed later. I finally hit 25k at llpm and packed it in to head for home.

Gotta say, I dearly *LOVE* that place! The manager for evenings is just awesome and remembered me from the last write-in. Now, this Starbucks just opened last Friday and has been swamped ever since, both at the counter and the drive-thru. There has had to have been literally hundreds of people come and go every day since last Sunday when I was there, so I thought it was kind of cool that she remembered me. And they got the white chocolate in (they were out on Sunday :() so I finally got to try the peppermint white chocolate mocha--tis GOOD stuff! I'm thinking that if I hit a block or just a slow progress day again, I'm going down there to write, as I've made more progress there than anywhere else. LOL, somehow I see a LOT of coffee in my future there. *giggles*

So here's the latest progress widget for 25750:



So Happy Friday everyone!! And tonight is new SGA here--SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Wow, what a day, lol. I left for the write-in at 1:30 this afternoon and didn't get home until after 10pm...whooops. *g* I made pretty decent progress--this in spite of one of the major characters *totally* re-writing an entire chapter on me. *le sigh* But I did make my word count for the day, plus a teeny bit extra besides. And I had the pick two at St. Louis Bread Company for dinner and did not totally blow my calorie count for the day, so that was good too. :D (Four of us left Riley's at 7pm and went to StL Bread Co to write for another couple of hours.) So my total word count is now sitting at just over 17k total--woohoo!!



Tomorrow...er, make that today...there is another write-in. This one will be at the newly-opened Starbucks here in C'ville so I just have to make that one! *giggles* Hope you are all having a great weekend!!

*wanders off in search of bed*

I'm now at just over 13500 words and *finally* back on track to keep up with the daily average to finish on time. *does happy dance*
Here are the details:




Happy Friday everyone! Which of course means new SGA tonight!! *does the happy dance* And if that's not enough...tis WEEKEND--woooooohooooo!! :D

I'm *almost* caught up now on my average word count. Despite a busy day of running errands, a session with the back-cracker (whose partner wants to actually read my novel...now--eeeeeep!), stopping in Curves for a work-out, and then going to a write-in at St. Louis Bread Co in Edwardsville (20 min north of here). Hopefully tomorrow will also be productive and I can finally get fully caught up again! Here are the vitals:



I hope those of you also participating are having much success thus far--and just as much fun as I am! :D

For those of you not participating, I hope you're finding much success in whatever you're doing also. (I figure the fun part goes without saying, lol.) :D

Happy Thursday everyone!
