Pkin Couldn't Wait for Santa

If you're counting down, is Christmas day zero or day one?  Pkin brought a Spanish air rifle.  How do I know this?  Well, he told me.  And then he showed me.  When a 40-something wants you to touch his pellets, you better keep your distance.

Your Christmas is Most Like: A Christmas Story

Loving, fun, and totally crazy. Don't shoot your eye out!

What Movie Is Your Christmas Most Like?

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!

NaNoWriMo

I honestly don't what the words are ... but I'm doing it.  I have 2000 words and need 1334 more words today to keep on track.  It feels like these are words I could better use ... but no, it's my own inspiration.

See you 'round!
