Okay Nano started at 12:01 am and here it is almost 12 hours later and I haven’t written anything except emails and facebook messages. What is wrong with this picture? How can I ever meet my goal of at least 2000 words today? Believe it or not I do have a plan. But maybe I’ll tell you a little of what my past week was like, so you can see why I don’t have anything done yet.

Last week was a nightmare, probably good fodder for someone’s story line. First my husband and I were involved in a small theater production that premiered and closed this past Sunday. It was called Martyr’s Mansion and we along with three other actors portrayed long dead saints. (appropriated because we attend All Saints Church in Puyallup and today is All Saints day.) Anyway back to my story, Tuesday night dress rehearsal, went okay but took up a little time. Tues/Wed granddaughter wakes up throwing up a couple of times during the night, have to keep her home from school on Wed. Have to miss critique group to stay home with her. Wednesday evening first show for the youth group. All goes well, except that I am so nervous my legs won’t stop shaking and I almost fall on my face. (Maybe not having been on the stage in over 30 years contributed to that.) But we survived and moved onto Thursday. Granddaughter back in school and I put the last sentence on my wip, still need to finish revisions, but it actually does have an ending. The rest of Thursday is a blur with kids activities and just breathing. Shouldn’t have gotten so comfortable, because Friday would be no where near quiet.

Friday starts out quietly, take the girls to school and sit down to do some writing. 10:30 the phone rings, granddaughter’s school. She fell on the playground and hurt her wrist now she is in the office and won’t stop crying. Hubby calls the dr. can’t get her in till 4:40. I go to school to pick her up, of course she wants to stay for the Halloween party, but us adults don’t think it is a good idea. So I take her home only to return a few hours later for the party. After that we pick up her aunt, my daughter at school and go home to wait for the dr’s appt. At 3:30 we go to the dr, of course they can’t tell us anything but go get an xray and give us a splint to immobilize her wrist. Long story short on Friday night at 5:30 there aren’t many places open to do xrays so we put it off till Saturday am. Hubby takes grandddaughter for xray and I hit the grocery and costume stores for supplies. We get home about the same time. They have the films but no one has read them, call the dr they can’t read them either and we have to wait till Monday to know what if anything is wrong. (I have concluded that tv is misleading the public on those dr shows when the dr reads the xray and gives out the death sentence, but that is a rant for another day)

Anyway I cook some risotta for the dinner we are going to that night, take the girls to choir practice, they are singing at Saturday evening mass. Go to mass myself, the family goes to dinner, then we go home to all crash. For Sunday is an early call. Hubby and I have our last two shows Sunday morning and have to get the girls with other responsible adults.

We finish up the shows around 2, rush home, cut grass, carve a pumpkin and eat a quick dinner so the girls can trick or treat. Then we watch our beloved Steelers lose.

Monday morning finally. Take Ana to school, take Andi back to the dr and I go to physical therapy. After sitting in the dr.s office waiting for the results which haven’t shown up yet, they finally do show up and it is concluded that it is only a sprain. So take her to school and finally we have a few minutes to get some work done. But don’t get to comfortable, Ana has a prayer service at 2, Al has a dr. appt at 2:45. So now you know why at 12:13 pm I still have no words written. 

But as I previously mentioned; I have a plan. After all of this I finally get to go to my write-in and and spend at least five hours focusing on nothing but the writing and hopefully exceed my goal for the day.

Life has given me some road blocks this day, but with a little BICHOK later this afternoon I will be able to overcome these road blocks and be well on my way to having the first draft of the second novel in my Twelve Pillars trilogy. 

So you see no matter what life may throw at you in the next month, there is still time to write. It may get a little hairy at times, but with a little determination it can be done, it shall be done, it will be done tomorrow (well maybe not tomorrow, but you get the idea.)

 So everyone raise a chai latte to Nano as we embark on this fabulous journey.

God Bless,

Chris
