My Blog's Birthday!

My blog is one year old today!

And it hasn't particularly matured since it came in to being - it started out as a blog about writing and quickly descended in to random chaos with fish, random thoughts, random quotes and my copious amounts of belongings to name but a few of the things that have pushed their way on to this blog. Which was why I started another blog for my writing adventures and left everything else to run riot on this blog.

A whole year - not bad to say that I've only discovered in the last week how to manually add blogs to the list of blogs that I follow. And I have only recently fully embraced scheduling posts.

Happy Birthday Blog!!

Merry Christmas!

Tis the season to be jolly! So I hope that everyone has a great Christmas [and, as long as you are old enough to drink, make sure you get at least a little merry! ;-)].

NaNoWriMo - The Fourth and Final Update

Yes it is the end of week four. I will not be posting tomorrow night. It is for the same reason that I didn't post my update blog yesterday. It is because...I FINISHED!!!!!

This last week I have pushed myself as far as possible, as you will see from my word counts. Well there are a couple of days where I didn't do quite so many words but I made up for that before and after.


I ended up spending the last hour of typing sat in the dark as I thought that if I got up to close the curtains and switch the light on I would lose my momentum.


So without further ado my word counts for the last week:


Monday: 1699
Tuesday: 4009
Wednesday: 342
Thursday: 946
Friday: 2545
Saturday: 2203
Sunday: 3331


Week total: 15075


Grand total: 50079 words!!!

I actually calculated my total as 50077 words but when I had it validated on the NaNoWriMo site they had it as 50079. So I went with their total. I've printed out my certificate. And I now plan on ignoring my first draft until the New Year. I can spend the time catching up with everything that I neglected throughout November.


Well done to all my fellow NaNoWriMoers, whether you have finished or not. Well done for simply having a go!
