Christmas

Hello! Yes I'm still alive. We've had a WONDERFUL Christmas! I was sick this past week so I didn't get to work on my WIP as much as I'd have liked, but that's ok. I'm not going to go on and on because if I do, I'll never accomplish my goal for today, which is to get addresses and letters perfected to query out my first book :) I"m going to leave you with my current word count :)
8436 :) :) :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poor attempt

It's been so long................I miss blogging :( But the good news is I have been writing this past week :) Every day! I have a 45 minute lunch break at work and I spend it scarfing down food and writing. I only wish I had more time to write! I"m not getting very many words out a day, 300-450, but that's better than nothing. I find it a little hard to switch gears from my very uncreative work to the creative act of writing which gives me a slow start each writing period. But again, I'm just happy to be writing again. My word count it somewhere between 6,500 and 7000, but I"m not sure specifically because I"m not on my laptop right now.
As for my poor attempt...I tried to blog on my phone, which is a backflip but it's too hard. I can type in a title just fine, but when it comes to this part, the actual blog, it's hard to make my phone type in the box rather than pulling up it's automatic search box. And when I was able to get it to type(I'm not sure how I did) I couldn't do certain punctuations(my "shift" key didn't work like when I'm texting). May be I'll get my hubby to play with it and figure it out. *shrugs*
A quick update on life in general is: The house is feeling more like ours and baby's mess certainly helps. As for baby, he's 18 months, but the terrible two's started several months ago. Hubby and my duties changed a little bit since I've started working, but for the most part everything has fallen into place. I can't wait for Christmas and I have gotten half, maybe more, of my shopping done!
*Wipes brow*Ok, that was a very compact update from the last time, almost a month ago, that I posted. Hopefully I'll figure out how to post from my phone despite my hatred for typing long paragraphs on a keyboard smaller than my hand. If not, hopefully I'll be at my in law's in the next week or two and I'll have another writing update :) Keep on writing and reading!
