Obstacles

Yesterday was the start of National Novel Writing Month and I did great! I had to put it off until 11-o-clock at night but I typed for an hour and managed to get  863 words out! I got super tired after that so I had to go to bed.

Then today while my daughter was taking a nap I sat down to write some more. I had writen my story on Google Docs, so I could have it anywhere I go. I went to open the document today and for some reason my computer doesnt want to load half of the google page, including the link to open my document. I tried refreshing and back steping and clicking away madly but to my dismay..nothing worked. So now I am back to square one! I cant remember what I typed, only the general tone of it. It was probably for the best though because it seems to me that I am a much better writer when I hand write. I type much faster of course, when handwriting it takes me an hour and a half at least to get what I typed in an hour. The benefit of hand writing though, is being able to see it tangiblely (please refer to my blog about spell check) in front of you, and look back and write in, or out. I think Im going to take my computers lack of cumputering skills as a blessing and start in my notebook. My beautifully lined, solid, notebook.

So tonight, after heroes and Dancing with the Stars, I will start all over handwriting my soon to be Best Selling Book :) Thinking Positive works really well for me.

Things Unforseen

Busy Busy week! Friday night my daughter burnt her hand on our heater. We went to the emergency room thinking that they were going to put something on it and let us go, turns out it was a third degree burn and they had to put her under to cut the blister off. We were at the hospital for a week. She did so great, and all the nurses loved her! They dont think theirs going to be any scaring or anything! I cried so much this week, but now that I know she is going to be okay (and now that we have a gate baring the way to the heater) I feel much better.

Also, I have some big news! We just found out I am pregant with my second kid! We are very excited. Who knows how this is going to effect my writing, I might want to kill of a character one second and then be trying to figure out a way to bring him back the next!

Today is November 1st! The official starting day of the 50,000 word challange with NaNoWriMo! I have yet to start writing, but mark my words, I will be writing into the night. It will be much easier once the kiddo is asleep.  I have been having dreams about my book and now I get to start it!! Everything is comeing together nicely! Wish me luck and please keep me in your prayers!
