so all my words went to my novel today.
I swear stuff costs more than it did two years ago when I moved out on my own for the first time. A dollar doesn't buy what it used to - which sucks considering no one is making more than they used to. I probably need to sit down and evaluate where I spend what and reign in some of my spending and redirect it better, or something. It's frustrating and I have to do better. I'm not broke, but neither am I saving as much as I wanted to. I'm probably also my own worst enemy when it comes to spending and impulse buying. I don't know if I know how to say no to me sometimes... This is probably a very dangerous thing.
Today was a really successful writing day. I totally plowed through chapter 2 and came up with some stuff I really liked. The critique group really helped me see an opening I missed for inserting more world info. Tomorrow I'll work on editing that and get the whole bit over to my friend who is doing beta reading for me. It's really exciting. I just hope I can keep this up.
So Paperback Writer suggested this interesting site today that makes up words. This could be very useful for when I need to make stuff up in writing and just need a quick word!
Now, I think I've mentioned this but I'm going to the DFW Writer's Conference. Well, Inky Girl tweeted today this blog entry about Conference Tips from Jane Makuch. I really need to finish my manuscript and work on a short this-is-what-my-book-is-about.
Anyways, short blogging day!

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!
