Perhaps this is why I'm not completing NaNoWriMo this time around, again ...

My Novel

I wrote in long-hand yesterday.  Will type it up soon.  My progress is progressing, slowly.

A Bit ...

I hate wearing odd colors.  True colors and I’m not talking Primary (red, blue, yellow), but colors that are distinct, like black, white and blue.  I don’t consider brown a true color cause there is so much variation.  Sometimes there sh#t brown, it can be ugly unless you’re an Autumn and have lovely fall colored accessories.  We are not Autumns.  I’m a Winter but not a really true Winter.  I wonder if I still have the Color Me Beautiful workbook.  There were so many women of a certain age running around with color wheels and scraps of fabric in their colors.  I never made one of those.  I just played it by year. 

I worked with a woman once who never, never wore patterns of any kind, this included plaids, prints and two-toned things (these are popular in the early nineties, a women’s suit that had a lapel inset with a contrasting color.)  I could say that 1980-1995 were bad years for working women, but thinking about it more, no year is good.  Women’s clothes suck in general.  Men can wear khakis and a shirt and they are good to go for business, casual and religious observances too.  But women have choices and options and generally too much behind, not enough cleavage or misplaced bellies to make the options really work.  And don’t get me started on the shoes.  I sometimes think that lesbians have it right.  Be comfortable.  This is a major generalization but I’m sure the pre-65 women’s comfort shoe market is targeted to the girl on girl person.  When your feet are tired after a day spent in pumps or some other constricting shoe, you really would consider a change of life, it you get my drift.

But I digress.  I’m wondering if I need to get matching shoes for my matching suit and my matching hat.  We all have heard the Coco Chanel put her accessories on then quickly looked in a mirror and removed the first thing she saw.  Would too much purple be the same thing?   Having been a nurse virtually all my life I spent countless years in white.  Nowadays white is not the limit but an accent in a hospital wardrobe.

I'm getting there!

Words

I did not have any words on Monday.  I had only about 800 of the darned things on Sunday.  My progress chart is sad.  Yellow is Actual and is way below Medium and way way below Optimistic.

Word Count

I spend the majority of my writing time trying to log on to NaNoWriMo and doing a word count on Word.  It's 4,307 and I need 5,001 by Midnight on this Fall Back Saturday!

Later Post:  I'm stopping at 5,111.  And there are light tears in my eyes.  Now that's great writing!
