NaNoWriMo is here

So my dear friend Sand absolutely wasn't going to do NaNo this year.  I could post links to the rants from earlier this year but why?  She's already kicking my butt in word count.  I am at 5400 or so as of last night and haven't chewed on any more words so far this morning.  Not to say they aren't rolling in the deep of my mind but just saying they aren't 'out' yet. I have done NaNo ever since I first heard about the challenge.  Only one year I didn't finish due to life and whatnot.  The first year I wrote it all in long hand and then sat at the computer and keyed it all in - basically meaning I did 100K words plus.  Weird huh?  At that time I wasn't secure in writing my novels on the computer.  I felt like it robbed me of my creative spark from the pen to the paper effort.  Over time I got over that fixation and find I use both skills.  I tend to edit my work in long hand and write in long hand when out having a meal or somewhere without Internet access. 

Work has been hectic.  My direct supervisor had her father-in-law pass away and was out half the week and another employee was in an auto accident and has yet to come back to work.  He has some degree of whiplash and as the incident wasn't his fault he has indicated he is going to be very careful not to aggravate the condition.  Yeah, work can be aggravating right?  That meant I absorbed a few more job related things this week.  Month closing was slow but we were to the penny balanced so I was pleased. 

Weekend is supposed to be sunny and cooler.  I am hoping to get some warmth in my bones and Suzanne said she'd make it over to come listen to my latest story and enjoy the sunlight with me.  Now hopefully it wont pour rain defying the weather idiots.  Fall weather is some of my favorite.
