Day 6

Tracy doesn't know I'm writing on my blog right now. She thinks I'm working on my novel. It is hilarious. She is seated at the computer (I'm on my laptop) with headphones on her ears (so as not to disturb me) dancing and loudly singing along with Natalie Grant!!

Fischer peed on me tonight. Yeah. He must have lifted his diaper and just squirted right into my lap! He was being so bad. After his bath, I left him for one second to change my clothes, came back and he had the toilet plunger on his face. I think he was singing into it like a microphone, but I don't remember because I screamed and jerked it away from him. I hope tomorrow is a better day for him.

I managed to get up early and write quite a bit this morning. I added a little bit on tonight, so my current total is 7,102 words. I think I'm supposed to be at about 10,000 but I'll take what i can get until after the youth rally is over this weekend.

Please be praying for everyone who will be traveling here this weekend. At last count, we had around 211 pre-registered. I am totally stoked about this and have been praying that God will show up and blow our minds at this rally. And I believe He will.

Day Two

OK, it's the end of Day Two.
It was really looking bad, with my busy schedule and all, but I stole 15 minutes here and there and still managed to write.
Cumulative word count: 3,290
This is about 700 short of where I need to be, but hopefully I can make that up tomorrow.

We took pictures today at church for a MOPs fundraiser. Why do women like pictures of their families with NO SHOES? It must be an artsy, beautiful, woman thing! My feet are hideous! The last thing I want to do is show them off on film. I think I was able to hide most of them behind very long pant legs.

As Tracy was leaving (AGAIN) tonight (she says "Yes" to TOO MANY THINGS, but that's another post) I picked Fischer up and told him to say goodbye to her.
"Bye bye, Tracy!"

NaNoWriMo

You might notice something new on the right-hand size of my blog: A little sign that says "NaNoWriMo Participant."
Don't worry, I haven't become a member of a cult or anything.
NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. I will be joining about 80,000 other crazy people in trying to write 50,000 words of a fictional novel in the month of November.
I'm terrified because I have our youth rally, Akastasia, coming up in just a few weeks (right in the middle of November!) But, I'm sure other people have excuses, too. I'll just have to work around it and give it my best shot.
I'm not sure I can come up with 2,100 words per day. Can my mind really handle that kind of creativity? Can I be THAT prolific? I don't know, but I'm gonna give it my best shot. I told a friend, "If I go down, I'll go down fighting!"
So, please forgive me if the blogging slacks off in a few days. I'm SO excited for November 1st to get here! I'll try to post some updates. Who knows? I might I even post an excerpt from my novel! Mmmm...maybe that will have to wait until after some editing has been done!
