Honey, it's cold outside...

Brrrr brrr chilly chilly
Is everyone staying warm? I'm beginning to doubt that my fingers are ever going to get warm and have actually contemplated cutting the fingers off my knitted gloves to stay warm.

I would like to say happy early birthday to my sister who is getting ready to turn the B-I-G "30" next month. Woot!

Well, I have another interview tomorrow for a different place so we'll see how that goes. I'm ever hopeful. LOL.

Other than trying to stay warm, I've been writing.
on the 21st I wrote 1727 words
on the 22nd I wrote 2006 words
on the 23rd I wrote 2145 words
and today I've written 531...(today has been a sucky day-what can I say)

I only hope that the work I've done is worth a hoot. I'll see next week when I go back and really look at it. But I am writing from a short outline so we'll see. That helps.

B&B total word count for Friday 25,758

Still thinking on TWAB and trying to decide how I want to go and think I after I finish B&B that I may just have to write it and see how it goes. It's not like I can't re-write it if I hate it.

So things here are good if not cold.

On a side note I really miss my playlist. I may have to add it back, but I know it irritates people.

Winter has arrived and has decided not to leave

It's cold here in the Carolinas. Terribly wickedly cold. We've a fairly mild climate here in the piedmont of the state but for the last few weeks arctic winds have arrived and made moving around a bit difficult. I cannot seem to get warm and have been drinking great quantities of tea. Currently 34'F and overcast with rain on the way. Brrrrhhhh.

On other thoughts...writing being one of them I realized that for more than a year I've been writing on TWAB. It is the one story that consumes me but also drives me mad. No matter what I do I can't seem to massage it enough to make it work. And I do mean work for me. The part that makes me insane is that I cannot get what I see in my head down on the paper but it's too good a story to let go. Don't get me wrong. I'm not giving up on it, but I think TWAB and I need a separation of sorts. I'm too close to it right now and need to step back so I can look at the whole objectively. I have way too much written to chunk it all. But I think I need a change of scenery, an opportunity to think about something else.

So for the next month or so I'm going to give TWAB a rest. I've mudded the waters too much with all my splishing and splashing about everywhere. I've started researching middle grade books based on where I grew up. I had a cute little idea and I'm going to plot out some of those books and see what happens.

Still looking for part time work and I just dropped my application in at a craft store. (woo hoo) I love to paint and do all sorts of things with clay and what not, so we'll see what happens there and I did down play some of my experience.

How is everyone else surviving this winter?
