- First off, a huge thank you to all Veterans — past, present, and future!
- Second off…
- And how cool is this Interview with Gaian Tarot by Zanna over at Tarot Notes? That’s the deck I’m using in my Meet the Cards series if you haven’t been following the tarot posts. It’s so fun seeing other people’s take on things.
- The wee beasties were out of school…again…for two days this week. Veterans Day and a staff development day. They definitely milked it Wednesday night, LOL, you’d have thought it was the last day of school.
- There have been some good NaNo days and some not so good.
- The ROW80wordage goal is right on track.
- Monday: 2468
- Tuesday: 2866
- Wednesday: 817
- Thursday: 266
- Friday: 1498
- The Twitter and Facebook goal…not sure if I made the three updates. Though I did have the most fun on Twitter I’ve had in awhile doing timed writing sprints with @joelysue and @MelDFMac Tuesday.
- I’m pretty sure I’ve met my commenting on three blogs per day goal. I’ve continued to schedule posts ahead of time with the exception of these Sunday Summary posts.
- And I just learned about Take Your Child to a Bookstore…there’s an actual day!

So mark your calendars for December 3rd and share the love of bookstores with a child.

Great job on that word count! I’m still holding out for that steampunk set. It’s release is so far away!
Nov 13, 2011 @ 07:09:12
That set is so cool and I agree waiting is hard but I’m looking at it as a birthday present to myself
Thanks for stopping by!

Raelyn, I think everyone has ups and downs on NaNo, at least everyone I know. Good job keeping up with the ROW goals, despite the days off school.
I think the Bookstore with a Child idea is so wonderful. My kids are all off at college or on their own, and none of the grandkids are nearby, darn it!
Nov 13, 2011 @ 14:52:27
I love the idea too, I’m already planning with the wee beasties
Thanks for stopping by Elizabeth!

Those word counts are WAY impressive! And I am so down with a Take Your Kid to a Bookstore Day. I wonder if there’s one for the library too?? Cool.
Nov 14, 2011 @ 14:04:40
Thanks Liz. There has to be a take your child to a library day. If there isn’t we should start one!

Romance heroes are so much more exciting for me right now than any real-life man. Sad but true!
Nov 14, 2011 @ 17:33:49
LOL, Trisha. That anthology sounds like it has lots of heroes for you
Thanks for stopping by!
