Nano Update
So, how is Nanowrimo going for everyone? I am at 12,065 words!!! WOOHOO. My WIP is Inside Eden and I'm enjoying it so far. As usual, my first draft is nearly all dialogue with little to no description but I"m pressing forward and promising myself to fix it on the second round:-) 

I've also been working on setting up my new laptop. It's an HP Pavilion. I totally love it. I especially love the free wi-fi at my neighborhood Panera. I've been their so often they should start forwarding my mail. Sometimes, to be effective with the Nano, I have to write away from my house. Because otherwise, I will be distracted and start to climb laundry mountain or alphabetize my spice rack. However, if I'm away I will concentrate on the work and crank out my words. 

I have only one rule for Nano this year. In the past years, I've tried to put my life on hold in November so I could totally focus on the work. This year, I can do anything I want SO LONG AS my words are written first. It's working so far.
