How I did it
How to do napowrimo 2009 (a poem a day during April)
It took me
30 days
It made me
splat!

How I did it: Most days I would start with a blank sheet of unlined paper, and a pencil. If I had a fairly clear idea of what I wanted to write, I would sometimes use pen, but most of the time I didn't know what the poem was about until I was halfway through and the repetitive phrases started to emerge.At the bottom of the page, I would have a small pile of sentences that I thought I might use in the poem. If I ended up using them, I would number them,… Read how I did it…

How to create a list of all of my (unique) life goals
It made me
creative

How I did it: I was inspired by Shortstack to take up this goal because she had such awesome things on her list. In pondering the kind of things I would enjoy, I really tried to reach out for things that I had been told were unfeasable, dreams that were too big or too strange to have really talked about it the past. Now I know where to find them, and can start to think about them in a real way, even the impossible ones! Read how I did it…

How to play 'Mystery Body Parts'
It took me
1 month
It made me
giggle with friends

How I did it: Setting up the rules and the goals and how to make it all work was one of the most difficult parts. There were a lot of people to coordinate to make it run all smoothly. Mamabear and Lulubell were of course instrumental in making sure everyone was on the same page.Beyond that, it was easy and fun. Take pictures every week of the requested feature, post, and then guess later in the week who's is who's. Read how I did it…

do NaNoWriMo 2009 (read all 6 entries…)
The Middle-lands 16 hours ago

Just over 20,000. Is today the day I make it to halfway? It’s a friday, so no bedtime, and my evening is completely free of any other obligation.

Unfortunately, though, this is the vaguest chapter in my entire outline. I have no idea of where I’m trying to go with these 5,000 words, and that makes it slow going at the moment, trying to figure out what kind of action and dialogue is going to create the kind of mood and interaction I need between the characters in order for the next chapter’s big plot point to make sense.

Put in my 2.5 week notice on friday 2 days ago

My last day is December 4th.

Woohoo!

Meanwhile, found out after the fact that we’re open on the Friday after Thanksgiving. I’d never known about it before, because I’d always been out of town for the weekend. Seriously, though? WTF is up with that? What office is open the day after Thanksgiving?

I’m so glad I’m getting out of here.

5 Gratitudes: Tuesday, November 17, 2009 2 days ago

Today’s photograph is from 10.01.09, as no photographs were taken this day.

  1. Getting back in the groove on my projects and things that are important to me
  2. Not being seriously injured when doing a faceplant into the sidewalk. Really quite lucky that I didn’t break my nose, or worse
  3. My mother having a safe flight back to michigan
  4. Less than a month until I get to see the gentleman friend again
  5. Ham and cheese breakfast scone, thinking of Gavy and Tangy
