How I did it
How to win NaNoWriMo 2010
It took me
30 days
It made me
dance and cheer

How I did it: I started off well, 3K on the first day. Week one went okay, week 2 just flew by without giving me chance to write any more than 5K. Week three, got behind and lost enthusiasm. Week 4, didn't care if I won or not. Last 2 days? Wrote 24 thousand words. Really, it's just a case of keeping on. Writing at every chance you get and not getting too annoyed if it's a bit rubbish. I was shocked at how much I managed to write when I really set my m… Read how I did it…

How to drink Green Tea
It took me
2 days
It made me

How I did it: Firstly, because my mum doesn't drive, I had to organize a trip to ASDA. My Aunt took me, I looked along the tea aisle and it wasn't long until I found it. Twinings do a lot of different green teas, as well as the pure version. I got green tea with pomegranate, drank some as soon as I got home, and was pleasantly surprised with how nice it is. Yum! Read how I did it…

How to clean out my closet.
It took me
1 day
It made me
Tidier?

How I did it: The cupboard was pretty dangerous. Spiders galore and a whole lot of dust. I held my breath, crossed my fingers with one hand, and threw stuff over my head and away with the other. Seriously, it was way easier than I thought it would be, and I'm glad I did it. There's literally nothing left in there now! It's ready to be painted and filled with more clutter.  Read how I did it…

Experience 100 new things by the end of December 2010 (read all 2 entries…)
1 & 2.

1. By pure luck, but still a new experience, was SNOW IN NOVEMBER. The first here in 17 years, and so in my life. And it was wonderful.

2. Winning NaNoWriMo. I failed last year but got through it this year by writing 24K in the last 2 days. So proud of myself!

I’m struggling with thinking up 98 more things, so if you have any suggestions, leave a comment!
(I’ll love you and give you a gold star.)

list three things every day that made me happy (read all 7 entries…)
19/11/10

1. Pancake. Only one, but my mum makes them so thick you’d burst if you attempted more than one!

2. We got the flush fixed on our toilet after months of frustration over not being able to flush the toilet in a hurry. I can’t believe how easy it is now! I forgot they didn’t have to be so difficult. Amazing!

3. General messing around with my middle little brother Chris. When we connect, we connect really well. He’s a good kid when he wants to be, even if he does steal jokes from Disney Channel.

3. TV tonight: The Big Bang Theory and Misfits.
