How I did it
It made me
:D 
How I did it: To be honest, this is totally not worth it. I mean the _hassle_ involved in all this is just mindboggling. Sheesh! The least of it all is that the 11th is not actually Anne's birthday of course, and that celebrating on the 10th is much more effective. :p Read how I did it…
It made me
Happy and observant 
How I did it: The camera was my constant companion. It still is. It is in my bag at all times. There are so many things around us that are worth snapping a picture of. Sometimes I wished I had 'camera eyes' meaning that I would not have to take my camera out etc. because by then the moment would be past. Keeping a camera close by is the next best thing.

It made me
Happy.
How I did it: First off because I promised (and I always keep promises), secondly because I would feel really bad about myself if I didn't even complete this simple task. And thirdly of course because I might eventually be rewarded with an original Ant People mural.I downloaded the models, bought paper to print them on, and made them. It's not all that hard.See one completed model with this entry, the other is in one of the entries under this goal. Read how I did it…

Day 6
1 day ago
Word count: 11,445. For now. I might write more today.
EDIT:
It is now 11,951. And I think I will leave it at that today. Sitting behind a computer is not very good for the body, I am hungry, I want to do other things for a while, and tomorrow is another day. The story needs a little tweaking now and then to keep it rolling but I think the current scene will get it back on track.
For another thing

I could spend some money on a ticket to India where I will travel around on foot until my boots are stolen whereupon I will take the train and contract some horrible disease which will force my family to fly me back home where I will spend the remainder of my days telling people about the amazing sights I have seen in India.
