Sigh…Halloween is over. Well, I remembered on time this month, so that’s something. Let’s see how I did…
October Goals
1. Update my etymology list so I don’t ignore it for a year and then have a huge amount to put in.
Hey, I did this! It’s much easier when I don’t leave it for an entire year.
2. Find some time to write! It’s going to be a busy month…
I didn’t find as much time as I would like, but I did think up a new story idea that I just love, so that’s pretty awesome.
3. HALLOWEEN!
I had lots of Halloween fun, so this is definitely checked off : ).
Did pretty good this month. I feel accomplished. Don’t worry. I’m sure it won’t last long.
November Goals
1. Write 10,000 words for new story idea. I don’t know if I’ll get there, but I want to aim high. So when I inevitably fail I can wallow in that much more misery.
2. Do a bunch of boring adult crap like raking the pine needles and stuff. I hate being an adult.
3. Oh god. Thanksgiving is this month. Please, no. Not that. Anything but that.
This month is going to be very, very busy. I’m not looking forward to it. Maybe I’ll get lucky and fall into a coma and not wake up until 2017. Anyway, what are you up to this month?
Some things about being an adult do suck, don't they? We didn't realize how good we had it as kids.
ReplyDeleteAnne R. Allen's site last Sunday had a link to an etymology database and I thought of you.
Why don't you just skip Thanksgiving?
ReplyDeleteI'd skip Thanksgiving too.
ReplyDeletePine needle raking is beyond tedious.
I'm sorry Thanksgiving is no fun for you. We're spending it with my husband's parents, which is always a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteBlerg! Being an adult is SO not fun. Good luck with your goals this month.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new story!
ReplyDeleteI have plans for lots of editing this month.
ReplyDeleteAny way to get out of Thanksgiving with the family? I actually like the day (and the meal).
ReplyDeleteRead your blog off and on. But never comment, stop in form Liz. October was a little hard but so far November been running smoothly. But it only the first.
ReplyDeleteIf you find the time stop in for a cup coffee.
Sounds like a busy month ahead! Good luck with the writing target! My aim is to finally get these edits done and sent off to my editor! It's so much more difficult than I imagined. But the upside is that it's got to get easier :) Take care.
ReplyDeleteGroan...I was just thinking about raking up pine needles today. My family loves Thanksgiving and being all together. I have to make two large turkeys or 4 breasts. And they all help with clean up so it's not too bad for me either. You can come to our house as long as you leave the crickets behind.
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! It's just been so darn adulty around here lately since my elderly father-in-law moved in. He's got dementia, so that adds to the mix. I'd love to run off for a week or two and just hang out with a bunch of writers! And, yeah... Thanksgiving? Eep! ~Tui
