the life, post-novel
Sunday I finished a first draft of a novel I started last month. It was a very exciting moment, but I knew I was going to finish it during the weekend. Heck, I'd planned it that way - because I need two weeks to get ready for NaNoWriMo - and clean my apartment!
So what does life look like post-novel? Messy. I'm starting a cleaning schedule. First everything will be tidied up, mostly put into place so my apartment is presentable - and then I start the deep clean. I'm going to try to borrow or rent a carpet cleaner I think, and a vaccume - or maybe just buy a new one. My mom visted me this last weekend and remarked about how dirty my apartment is. It irked me because it was a little messy around the edges but for the most part it was clean!
I think I got the cleaning bug from my mom - but only after I moved away. Before I did everything possible to not clean, but now all I want is for everything to have a place and a spot.
Oh my, I'm becoming my mother....

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!

...I have a carpet cleaner if you want to borrow it. It's pretty easy to use, too. I also have a vacuum, but I can only transport one at a time -- they won't both fit in my car, I don't think..
Huh... this is tempting. I have no idea how to use it but it can't be that hard, right?
