Okay! So everyone’s asking about how the meeting went today. It went fabulous. Eden Bradley did a great job with her first time presenting. She’s a charming, fantastic speaker. She read excerpts from novels that were great examples of using the senses and poetic words. She had a hands on, senses portion where we touched things and listened to music and smelled things. I heard great reactions from the chapter, and we had a pretty good turn out today! I got to see Aurora, Heather H., Jen, and lots of friends I don’t see to often.
After we dragged Eden to a board meeting at the Hilton (the future location of the ECWC conference!) and bought her lunch. Then after that, Lacy and Eden dragged me to a shop I probably shouldn’t talk about :)
So last night was my first night of writing fresh stuff (versus rewriting) with NaNo. Blank pages and just a word count I had to meet. And I stalled and stalled and soon it was 9pm. So I turned off my tv, logged off my email and messenger, and put on my playlist and wrote 2k in an hour! I was pretty impressed. I know I can write fast when I remove all distractions, but I so rarely do it *wince*.
Which, sorry to say, is what I need to do now. I’m going to pass out early tonight, Emma woke me up at six am cause she wanted to pee. So I’m a little tired. But I have the perfect writing environment right now. It’s raining and we’re getting a wind storm, so I have my window cracked so I can listen to it. Love these!
I promise I’ll try and blog hop sometime soon. But I notice nobody’s coming here anymore either, lol. It’s NaNo time, baby!
I’m here, Shelli. Sadly, not that I count for much at the current time. ;-}
Your meeting sounds like it went off great and Eden had them eating out of the palm of her hand. How fortunate for you to be in touch with other authors face to face. I live in nowhereville and the closest RWA meeting is almost a full day’s drive away. :( Oh well. Oh, and btw…that is one crazy picture.
Sounds like the meeting went great! Good luck with the NaNo story. ;)
I envy you your meeting, Shelli! Not to mention your 2K in an hour. :D Keep it up!
Sorry, but that’s a disgusting picture. I can just feel his lungs shriveling and turning black.
I’ve noticed the slow down with blog hopping too. Everyone is NaNoing.
2000 words in an hour. YOu’re my hero!!
I tried a few times this weekend to leave a message but blogger or possibly my internet blitzed out! Anyway, 2k in an hour is so cool! YAY!
With Love,
