It is 9:30 p.m. and I am spent. I'm doing my own, non-novel version of NanoWriMo in order to prove to myself how prolific and productive I can be when I really set my mind to it. As corny as it sounds, it is helpful to know that there is a nationwide movement of writers buckling down and risinig to their own challenge.
My personal challenge is 25 posts a week including blog entries here, informational articles, fluffy stuff-- which I will try and keep to a minimum, and hopefully decent short stories and poems. I tried an aggressive goal last month, and didn't make it work. Hopefully, I will do better.
Yesterday was a wash -- first day back after being away at Marshall Festival. I finished some jewelry that was in progress, did a little socializing on sites, but didn't really write anything. Today, I posted twice on Gather, once on Associated Content, and once on Helium -- and I'm posting here. I have a short story assignment due in AC by midnight, which I have started and still hope to finish. I also made another necklace. A purple heart drop necklace -- very "regal."
Provided I finish that story tonight, I will declare the day a creative success.
I also voted, of course. It was the first election both my kids voted in -- it was exciting to see them get to have that right. My son missed the 2008 election by less than 2 months. He voted in the Primary, but my daughter hadn't turned 18 yet, so she couldn't vote until today.
I still don't know how it all turned out, but I am hoping we can make the best of it regardless. When all is said and done we have more power over our lives than our politicians. Thank goodness.
