Nearing the end of the second day of NaNoWriMo and I'm pleased with how things are going so far. I'm managing to maintain a pace of just over 1,667 words a day these two days. So far, one new character has already shown up. I wasn't expecting her, but she became a necessity very quickly. No, she won't be a love interest. Uma is the main character's summer au pair over the summer he turns 8 y.o. I hope your Friday went well. Have you any plans for the weekend?

@DWDavis I only got three hundred or so words written yesterday. By the time I sat down to do it I was pooped. Maybe this afternoon will be better.

@thislittlepennyearns I read your excerpt. Was Hannah channeling your fatigue some? I could sense her frustration at being blocked.

My missus and I try to declutter on an almost constant basis. But then the catalogs come and more clutter shows up. No, the catalogs don't come to me.

@wolfgirl569 Most of the catalogs we get see the same fate. There are one or two however...

@DWDavis I only have plant catalogs that come regular in the spring. Most go right in the trash.

Congratulations, I admire you for writing almost 1,700 words every day. I am almost tempted to try to write something.

I've already written over 1,700 more today. Does that increase the temptation?

@DWDavis I have finally cooked most of the afternoon yesterday and I plan to do more today. I have a sense of satisfaction cooking, more than writing.

@LadyDuck You share that with my wife. She loves to cook and is never as happy as when she is trying a new recipe.

I love a good twist in a book. Nope, just homestead working.

This twist was a literry necessity because the main character is so young at the start of the book.

I'm trying to keep the pace up and get a bit ahead against those days coming up around the holidays when I know I won't have time to write.

Friday was a rough day due to the vet visit. Is that you wife and one of your son's? Yes, today run of the mill, but tomorrow Redskins game and visit with son.

So glad you had such a great visit with the family. An all-girls' afternoon must have been a lot of fun.
