Nanowrimo day 9

Well so far nanowrimo is going well for me. I'm currently at the 30,092 mark and managed to hit the half way Mark 2 mins into day eight sigh. I wanted to hit it day 7 but what can you do. I've had a few rough days where I just couldn't get my brain to function right, and a couple of naughty look backs. I know, I know never look back. But all in all I think I am doing ok on my first nanowrimo. I'm now at the place where I am fretting about my novel length, I'm worried that it's gonna be well in excess of the 50k Mark and although it being over is not really a bad thing, I'm actually getting the urge to pull things to a conclusion early which would just completely spoil it. I dunno I guess I'm just worked people are gonna think I'm a big head for having managed to do so much in such a short time and believe me when I say I never in a million years thought I would do so well at this. My aim at the start of this was to use my excitement and enthusiasm to get down as many words as possible so that when the inevitable self doubt or mental blocks kicked in I'd have the space to work through it without falling to badly behind. However, I now feel a little out of place within our regional group, as i worry that people think I'm some kind of show off or something. I guess that's partly why I'm freaking about my novel going 10 or 20k over the 50k Mark and thus kinda screwing it up trying to bring it to a conclusion sooner.
I mean I think everyone is doing great, especially those who have a 9 to 5 and are coming home and having to churn out there daily word goals. I'm so lucky that my job is my writing and my son. Because him being at school all day gives me plenty of time to write. I dunno I guess I'm just having a down day and worrying too much about what others think, when I should just be focusing on memory book and making it the best that it can be. I think a long soak some good music and a chat with Cj aka my long suffering best friend and editor will help perk me up a bit xxx

Nanowrimo day 2

After pulling an all nighter last night and working hard both yesterday and today my word count is at 15288, I pushed myself a lot harder than I really needed to in order to give myself some free days off just encase kye has an asthma attack, because you can never be to sure when that might happen.
I'm just so determined to complete this challenge that I didn't want any outside forces to ruin it. Hope u are all well love And hugs joss xx

trick or treat

My little monster, above, my husband and I just got back from our trickle treating, which was a decidedly wet affair what with the torrential rain that decided to hit half way through, still we had lots of fun with our friends despite the weather, even if our little party of 4 adults,4 kids and 2 dogs did look like drowned rats by the end lol.
We are all warming up nicely n front of the fire now though, and all snugly in our pj's lol

School run

I'm getting ready to pick my son up from school. When Kye first started going on the school bus it was very difficult for me to get him up to the bus, as when kye was born I had an epidural which did some pretty bad damage to my back which resulted In me not being able to walk very far at all. Every trip to the bus and home as a result was agony and so I had to find another way. Now thanks to motability I have a mobility scooter which has made life so much easier for me and means I can do the things a normal mum can do which is great. And as I had a bit of time before heading off I just wanted to point out the freedom and happiness the motability people bring when helping people with dissabilitys like myself. Without motability's help I couldnt get my son to school and wouldn't have made so many great friends it's really changed my life for the better. For me admitting I couldn't do it for myself was the hardest thing I ever had to do and although needing a mobility scooter was not something I could help I felt ashamed of needing one I am so glad I was able to get past that though. If you need help with mobility don't feel ashamed or afraid as I did no one has judged me or made fun of me because I have a mobility scooter they see me not it. So if u need the help get it, it will change ur life for the better. Love and hugs joss xx

Blogging from my iPhone

Well it's been a while since I posted to my blog, but I am hoping to change how often I blog now that I can do it from my iPhone. I am so easily distracted when I go online that I often intend to blog when suddenly... "Oh! A cute bunny" I want to change that however. And as with the nee blogger app I can just blog. I am hoping distractions will be a thing of the past however I apologise in advance for any mistakes my autocorrect or what ever it is called makes lol.
This month however might be a slow one for post as I am signed up for the nanowrimo and will be hard at work. This is my first time entering but I am determined to complete a 50,000 word novel in 30 days and hopefully without going insane in the process lol.
To all who are doing this too good luck :) if you're anything like me you'll need it lol
Well that's all for now love and hugs Joss xxx

Ps the photo is of my son and his new friends lol, they maybe cows but their not MOOdy at all hehe I know that was terrible but I couldn't resist lol

day 13 writing prompt challenge

cute

I love cute, pink and white are my fav colours, and I love all the cute things you can get in both.

I guess the best thing I can do with this prompt is share some pictures of things I think are cute.

day 12 writing prompt challenge

Pasta

I love pasta, creamy tomato and herb pasta, chicken and mushroom pasta, lasagne, spag bowl, oh the list goes on and on and on.

I could eat pasta every day of my life, and never get bored of it.

my fav pasta meals are:

Lasagne, spag bowl, tuna pasta and chicken and mushroom pasta.

The things I love about pasta, is it is very filling, relatively good for you if you watch the calories in your sauce, and don't add to much cheese, and very quick and easy to prepare.

It's also really nice meal when there weather is pretty hot, and in some cases can be enjoyed cold, such as tuna pasta.

other than that I really don't know what else to say on this prompt, except, repeating that I love pasta lol.
