Progress on Nanowrimo 2020

Michelle Renee Kidwell @Michellekidwell (29260) • Sonora, California 13 Nov 20

I just broke 30 K on my Nano Novel, its actually going more smoothly than I expected, though I know I am going to have a serious round of edits but that’s okay. I’m going to add a bit more to my word count today, and hopefully...

Nicole W. I am participating this year as well though I am still at the 20k mark. I am kind of cheating a bit since everything has already been written. There has been this world I have been building and writing on since I was 12 years old. And we have a neighbor who...

Cereal Is Not Just For Breakfast

CarolDM @CarolDM (203454) • Nashville, Tennessee 4 Aug 20

For some reason I have had no appetite today. I had a piece of toast with coffee earlier. Then went on to work on my projects for today. Then realized the toast was gone and I needed more. So I decided on a bowl of frosted flakes...

Nicole W. It is not something I eat normally outside of mornings but cereal is nice sometimes when you don't feel like making anything and it is hot out.

Whoa! I hadn't realized how bad MyLot's issues are right now. I took me four tries to get to the site. Here's a "negatve" post to suit my mood: Have you ever visited somewhere you would NEVER live?

The Horse @TheHorse (205716) • Walnut Creek, California 3 Aug 20

I love Iowa. I love Montana. I think I could retire in either State and give piano, guitar, bass and mandolin lessons to kids, drink too much at night, and enjoy life in general. But there are certain places I've passed through...

Nicole W. Oddly I somehow ended up living in a place I thought I would never live. While I can't say I have entirely warmed up to living here, there are certain charms that you don't initially notice about a place when you are just passing through it.

It's a confusing time

Susan @HazySue (39264) • Gouverneur, New York 23 Mar 20

I saw this image and knew it would be one that many people could relate to. With all of us dealing with our life in a total disarray I am sure that we feel confused, tired, and frustrated. I am used to staying at home and in the...

Due to the coronavirus all NYC public libraries have shut down for the rest of March. That means I can't check out any books for at least a few weeks. Hubby asked me what I am gonna do and if I have any books to read. I told...

Nicole W. Ebooks are still an option. I have been using the internet archive for finding my reading lately. Its probably not ideal for most as it means having to read on a screen rather than holding a physical book and not a lot of people like that, but if you need...

Do you feel boredom?

rappeter13 @rappeter13 (8608) • Romania 13 Mar 20

In the past, I have felt boredom a lot. Whenever I had nothing to do, I was feeling that annoying feeling. But, as years have past, I have taught my mind not to feel it anymore. And now, that options are closing down because of...

Nicole W. Usually it is the opposite for me. There are always things I want to do. The problem is there isn't always time to do them and I often find myself wasting time deciding what to do.

Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year?

Jo Ann @akalinus (40440) • United States 28 Oct 19

I was wondering if anyone else is doing NaNoWriMo this year. If so, will you take a month off of myLot or try to keep up with both? Will you work on any other earning sites during November? I need a few writing buddies. I am...

Nicole W. I have a massive project I have been slacking on and am considering using NaNoWriMo as an excuse to focus and get a large chunk of it done. Getting 50,000 words into it would be a relief, but it doesn't fit into the rules so it wont count. I probably will...

Casual Video Games

Nicole W. I think the only games I play that qualify as casual are farming sims like Stardew Valley which is not quite the same as the ones you listed above.

Nicole W. I have been playing Minecraft with my husband quite a bit recently. We have been busy turning a desert village into a city and learning how to do redstone. I usually like simulation and roguelikes but it is hard to choose a favorite.
