Countdown to a month of masochism

Only 15 days until November!

That means I only have 15 days to get stuff done before National Novel Writing Month begins again, and I fling myself back into the race for 50,000 words in 30 days. I will be putting my word count tracker widget up again this year, so you can cheer me on!

I have got to clear my plate before it begins, or else I will have way too many excuses to procrastinate.  Last year I had to leave the house to write most nights because there were so many projects there that caught my attention and distracted me. I spent way too much money stuffing my face as I wrote night after night at the Gelateria that month.

So, in the interests of a healthy bank account, in the next 15 days, I will:

  • Finish painting. I have the living room and bedroom left to do.
  • Outline my NaNoWriMo story. I have given myself permission to use Post-Its.
  • Write at least 4 more blog posts. I’ve been slacking.
  • Finish my grad school application and send it in. (Did I forget to mention that? Grad school? More on that in the next post, I think.)
  • Visit my grandparents.
  • Weatherproof my windows.

And in the next 12 hours, YOU should enter my bath product giveaway at Like. Love. Want. before time is up at midnight tonight!
