Random Thoughts to start my Blog

Hello! Thought I'd jump on the Blogger Bandwagon (Yeah, I'm years too late, what of it? I only got on Facebook a few months ago, too.) and try to keep a Blog updated.

We spent today at my parent's house. We took over 4 loads of laundry because our front loading washing machine decided to spring a leak. We showered there, also, because the gas company really likes it when you pay them regularly, so we currently have no hot water. We're just at the time of the year when the savings from the previous year's cooler season is drying up, so we're having to stretch to make ends meet. It's really fun, let me tell you.

I've determined to write at least 100 words of my story tonight. It's a trick, you see. I can blink and there'll be 100 words. And then I'll get on a role and write 500, which turns into 750. It's just getting started that is the tricky part. I have a story deadline coming up on the 27th and I'm supposed to have 5000 words by then. I have about 150. Woops. Better get the kids to bed and get cracking!

I am the queen of waiting till the night before the deadline to write the story. But at least I'm writing!

Edited to add: well, I got 500 words written and I watched the latest episode of Lost. Woo!

  1. Do we get to see some of the book, or hear anything about it? I'll show you mine if you show me yours.... :) P.S. That whole bill juggling thing is tricky. I am impressed with your sklls, yo.

  2. Sharon, I posted the link in the next blog post, but the stories are anonymous for one week while people vote on the entries they did and didn't like. In one week I can tell you which one is mine.
