Blog #8

Again I'm uninspired and too busy to think about blogging. But I made myself a goal and I can't quit after only two months. So here is my next blog....
I guess you're waiting for something, I'm drawing a complete blank. Let's see what kind of week I've had. I've finished my taxes using TurboTax but I haven't filed yet because I need to make sure I have all the updates and I want to make sure I don't have paperwork that might trickle in. I'm happy that I won't be in the hole this year. Yay!!

I continue to work on my book. I've edited some pages I wrote during NaNoWriMo. I continue to research the best way to write better sentences.

I did write a scene that has been rolling around in my head for the last couple of weeks. It just flowed. I know I want to use the scene I haven't' figured out where I want the scene to be placed. I'm not too worried but I know it will fall into place.

Curiosity had me wondering how many words I wrote, I finally took the time to get the count, 1,589 words!! Way more than I thought. I'm really looking forward to integrating this scene in just the right place.

Now to start thinking about the next blog...

February 10, 2014 - Blog #6

Oh my gosh. Blog every Monday. Oops. I'm late but here is a little something to post.... I've got nothing. I've been working on editing my story, and inputting tax info into TurboTax. The weather has been wet. Something we really need. The freeway "up to date" information signs asks us to conserve, we are in a drought.

Now it's time for my next blog... a week can pass by quickly.

Blog #5

 Today I'm looking for cleaning charts to help me clean better and not spend all day cleaning or in my case, easily side tracked. Side tracked usually means no chores done. I came across this site and thought I could maybe do this. So I'm sharing, maybe it will help you too. http://organizingmadefun.blogspot.com/2010/11/15-minutes-of-cleaning-how-to-have-fake.html

I also wanted a chart that the I cof-cleaning-how-to-have-fake.htmlat do you want me to do?" We've been trying to teach them to ask us for a chore or something before they get to goof off. Most times my brain seems to busy to think. With a chart I could quickly locate a chore that can be done. The kids might not like it, but I will. I think when the kids ask, they are srcretly hoping I wont think of anything.

Also this week I've been working on my novel. Class has been in session and I need to have somthing to share. I've have written but it needs to be cleaned pu. So I've been trying to edit. Which rminds me that I need to read and critique anothers story pages. Maybe it's a procastination thing. But I'm still reading how to write a good story

today is monday, post my blog day. I cant seem to get to my computer to do what i need. 

I'm at this moment sitting at an investment seminar luncheon.  Lunch was not so good either.  The chicken wad dry and tasteless.  The head of the investment company is passionate buy eighty percent of the information comimg from his excitable brain can not be processed by my brain. But the forecast looks good they expect a bull market. 

I'm wondering how I can skip out of here. I have homework for writing class which includes editing my current work and reading and critiquing another's.  At least it's only one.

i did have some  time before coming here but I spent close to an hour trying to rewrite a paragraph to convey the right meaning. i wanted to read my writing, my a few changes and be done with ten pages.
