Phew.
November has been pretty busy!
I should have known, doing PiBoIdMo and NaNoWriMo in the same month.
For the record, that’s difficult!
But I’m doing well.
So far, here’s my NaNoWriMo count:
That’s 36,407 so far!
And here’s an outdated version of my writing poster to show PiBoIdMo count too:
Writing everyday has been interesting.
I’ll write more about it after November!
I’ve tried to do some other things too, besides writing.
Keyword: TRIED!
Thankfully it’s Thanksgiving, so I sent out some Thanksgiving mail:
Thankfully I have a friend with a birthday in December, so I had an excuse to craft.
I made some notebooks from some packaging I saved of his favorite brew…
well, maybe just the art is his favorite.
And I made a little version of the birthday banner I made this summer for a mutual friend:
I also got to make a few cards for some friends at capoeira.
I’m the “make a giant card for everyone to sign” person.
Between birthdays and people leaving on trips and such, they keep me pretty busy
And it was a little girl’s birthday that I know….so I helped out with crafts and entertainment.
Including learning how to draw…a buffalo.
From four year olds.
Pretty proud of myself.
As you can see, my November has been very varied
What’s coming up in December?
- More writing! (most likely picture books!)
- An ambitious revision plan/plan to work on a list of agents to submit to
- PiBoIdMo colorfyl notes…I’ve gone back and done the ones I missed last year too…there will be two MEGA posts coming your way!
- A few author visits…one or two I haven’t blogged about yet.
- More mail art….especially because Christmas presents are going to be heavy in the mail art department.
- The full list of all the books read during 31 in 31.
How’s everyone else’s November going?
Hope you have some great turkey tomorrow…
it’s my first Thanksgiving NOT as a vegetarian in three years, so I’m pretty excited!
Enthusiastically yours,
Kathy Ellen and Singe Singe
What an amazing (and busy) November you’re having!
My November has been awesome, chiefly because I went to Connecticut and attended two performances of a brand new musical that Julie Andrews is directing (based on a book by Julie and her daughter, Emma Walton Hamilton.) It was a wonderful experience!
I am, however, waaaaaaay behind in PiBoIdMo and other writing. That’s life.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kathy Ellen!
Kathy…so great to hear you are progressing through November…yes, it has been a REALLY busy month!
I LOVE your little notebooks with the ‘brew’ covers…so so so creative…you could sell those, no problem!
Have a beautiful Thanksgiving! Enjoy the change of vittles.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kathy Ellen! You’ve been busy! I’m also doing PiBoIdMo and also busy with some work-for-hire books.
The life of a write is crazy…crazy fun! I love the November calendar you’ve created. Since I like to think visually, I think I’ll steal your idea so I can see my accomplishment for PiBoIdMo and future challenges. Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
