Basically, I just wrote a long post about how I’ve felt yucky all week. It’s no secret. Cramps, fever, yucky. But seriously, who wants to read about that? So I deleted the post and instead, I’m leaving you with this. It always makes me feel better to hear this song. It’s not the words, really. It’s the beat. Awesome song.
Last night while I watched the Biggest Loser, I finally sat down and finished putting together our wedding invitations. That basically involved attaching the vellum overlay to the floral-printed cardstock with a ribbon, then adding a little touch of sparkle in the form of a red rhinestone, and finally putting it all (along with a little card that has info about the website) in an already addressed envelope, sealing it up, and adhering a flower seal on the back. It took me almost the full 2 hours to get all sixty invitations done, but I am happy with the final…
NaNo WriMo is off to a strong start. The President, Chris Batty (? did I spell that right? /shrug) gave the advice to start strong early, to pump out as many words in the first few days as possible. Why? Well, because at the beginning you have a lot of energy and are pumped up for the new story. A week in, however, you start to realize that writing 50,000 words in a month isn’t as easy as you thought it would be. You start to feel tired and uninspired. That’s when having a huge start can really help. On…
It’s officially that month again where over 150,000 writers from all across the globe vow to write a 50,000 word novel in just 30 short days. I was counting the minutes until midnight, chomping at the bit to get started on Pandemic, my YA zombie apocalypse novel. I’ve been working on ideas for this book for so long that I can’t believe I’m actually writing it now! It’s 1:17, but with the change in time, it’s really already 2 hours and 17 minutes into November. I couldn’t believe it when I looked up and I was already 2709 words and…
Lately G and I have been taking online surveys for cash. Palm Research offers daily surveys that pay at least $1.00, and while I don’t always qualify, we’ve managed to make over $15.00 as a couple in just the past week. Now, before you laugh and say that fifteen bucks is only a small amount of money, just think about the fact that it only takes a few minutes a day and sometimes the surveys can even be interesting. (Be sure to sign up via the link above if you’re interested in doing some too.) Plus, if there’s one thing…
It has begun. I’ve started dreaming about zombies now. It’s no wonder since NaNo WriMo starts this weekend. I’ll be starting a story that I have wanted to write for some time now. Pandemic is my title for now, and it’s about a flu pandemic that gets out of hand. When a vaccine is made, everyone at the heroine’s school is forced to get it in order to keep the rest of the teenagers safe from it. It backfires, of course, and when people start dying from the flu, it’s the vaccine in their system that reanimates them. Then Boom!…
