Day 15!

Wow, I can't believe we're half-way through NaNoWriMo already!!!! I'm at 23,000 even right now, but I'm hoping to get up to 25,000 by the time I hit the hay tonight. I must admit, though, that it's wearing me out. ^^ But then, that must be because I've been doing school too. Next week I'll have off from school, so it will be better. I won't be so worn out. So anyway, I'm going to go watch Little House and take a break from being on the computer. ;-)

I'll get more written after dinner. If I don't fall asleep first. *yawns*

Almost Up To 20,000!

Well, I'm at 17,208 right now, so I'm close to 20,000, but by tomorrow evening I'm hoping to be almost up to 25,000--if not already there. I breezed past 15,000 this morning, but then again, that's cuz I started this morning with 14,000. B) So I'm feeling much better about it! And I'm actually ahead a little bit! So that's nice. Plus, I got two I.S.O.S. scenes written and posted this afternoon!

So anyway, I hope all of you fellow Wrimo's are getting as much done as I am! I'm rooting for y'all!!!

10,000 Words!!!

I just passed 10,000 words and I am SOOOOOO excited! I'm slowly but surely getting caught up! I'm only 8,000 words behind instead of 12,000. ^^ Getting there! Well, I've procrastinated enough. :6: I'm gonna go get more written before lunch!

Sunday Morning Thoughts

Lately I've been learning the lesson of being content with what the Lord has provided for me. It's been hard, but once it is learned, the joy and contentment are priceless. For the first time in a long time I was truly happy in every sense of the word. The Lord lifted some of the heavy burdens and allowed me some time without them. Though it has not lasted long, I am thankful to the Lord for it. I know that I will continue to learn this lesson again and again until I go Home with Him, but each time I know that He will get me through it. In fact, He says so right here in Hebrews 13:5--

Make sure that your character is free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, "I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU, NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU," (New American Standard Bible)

He has given me the desire to lead my drill team in a Bible study. I would like to cover this very subject with them, but I need wisdom. I don't know how to word things in a way that would grab their interest. But I trust that the Lord--using the gift of writing that He gave me--will guide me in this.

I am also going to use my real-life experience in this area in my NaNo story. The Lord has given me the experience for a reason, so why not share it in my writing?

Those are my Sunday morning thoughts! Now I think I'm going to go write down Hebrews 13:5 so I can memorize it this week. Then I'll grab a snack, my headphones, and my laptop and get some words down.

Blessings!

Another Roadblock

I didn't think that there could be anything else to distract me so much from writing, but I was wrong. My cat's sick, so we're taking him to the vet tomorrow...he may not come home again if our assumptions are correct. He may have feline leukemia. I can almost guarantee that if that's the case that I won't get much writing done at all. So now I'm wondering why in the world I decided to do NaNo in the first place. I wanted to see how far I could get, but....Oh well. Thanks for your prayers, you guys! I really appreciate how much you care. I'll...let you know about my kitty.
