So the alarm went off a little earlier than it has for the past two weeks. The dog didn’t budge. She barely raised her head. But I felt the psychic waves rolling off of her:
You’ve got to be freaking kidding me.
I was up in time to see Oreo do her stretch-walk out of Miss B’s room. And we did our morning routine, albeit much earlier than the past few weeks:
- Dog, out
- Pets, fed
- Coffee, brewed
- Exercise, commenced
- Computer chair, stolen by cat
Oh Dark Thirty isn’t all bad. I listened to Michael Hauge’s talk on character arcs during the commute today, then grabbed his Six Stage Plot Structure.
I may not have quite as many words as some of the others on JaNo (5,131 at last count), but I’m feeling strangely fine.
Writing Wrongs 
I was fighting that some thing this morning – well, all except for the cat. Even worse is knowing that this is the beginning of the first 5-day work week I’ve had in more than a month. Uggg.
Good luck with JaNo.
This was the first time in 24 days the kids had to be up at a regular hour. Luckily they were EXCITED to go back to school, so I was the only one stumbling around this morning.
You’re ahead of me on JaNo….I’m at -436 words (yeah, that’s NEGATIVE) since I smooshed two scenes into one and lost a bunch of words.
Sigh.
You’re beating me at JaNo, too. You should be feeling awesome, lol.
And, I was THRILLED for today to come.
Good for you. (your blog entry title stopped me here this morning.) Jano! Excellent. Cat in the computer chair has me laughing, though! As I sit writing, I have a beagle under the Xmas tree. (Yeah, I know, time to take it down.)
Charity, I’m glad you were okay with O. Dark. Thirty and your wc. WCs are overrated anyway. 😉
5131! Yay!
I HATE dark thirty. And tomorrow I have two of them. The first, when the alarm clock rings. The second, when I finish the talk I’m giving to a sorority after work. I neeeeeed sunlight.
