Three Day Weekend! Squee!
I'm at a bit of a snag right now, which really shouldn't surprise me, but it does. I'm at 21,000 words. I haven't written anything today, and doubt I'll get out much. At 21,000 words Something Big should happen. Things should begin to Go Somewhere. I don't know where though. I'll try to figure it out this weekend
Other things I've been up to (in list form!)
*Teaching two students. I'm not taking anymore students at the moment because I'd like to keep my evenings relatively free. If I ever need the supplemental income again it'll be easy enough to build back up.
*Playing in a community band. It's a lot of fun, though I'm looking into joining up somewhere else. This band has spirit but the music isn't very challenging. The Christmas program has a lot of fun things in it, though, so I'm enjoying that.
*Taking horse back riding lessons. I used to take lessons as a kid, and it's one of those things I really missed along with roller skating. I recently took this back up and have been riding for about two months now. Most of the time I'm sure my horse is laughing at me.
*Lord of the Rings Online. Quit WoW and started this up about a week ago. I'm a burglar named Smeagal. For realz. The graphics are beautiful and I'm addicted to these pie delivery quests.
And that's about it! Plenty of things to keep me out of trouble. I'm very excited about the upcoming weekend since it contains three whole days and all I have planned so far is to celebrate some old fogey's birthday. Otherwise I'll be playing LotRO and working on my NaNo. Hopefully I'll overcome this snag in the story and get out plenty of words. Last year it took me until August to actually finish the book that began as a NaNo. Which, I admit, is better than the three years it took to finish the one before that. This time I hope to finish the rough draft by January at the latest. Then I can return to Piper's Debt and do a rewrite so that people can be reading it by the summer. How exciting!
That was a long post. I've been trying to make more short ones since I know a lot of people don't like reading through stuff like this. But I can't help myself sometimes. It's shameful.

Community groups are tricky... finding good ones, that is.
Which LOTRO Server? I'm on Landroval, a level 42 hobbit minstrel with a bad hairpiece named Ruggo Wiggins. Wouldn't be much fellowshipping going on, but there could be chats and such.
I despise the pie delivery quests with a passion.
I am on arkenstone. Roll a toon over there and you can be part of the Order of Mad Baggins!
you use blogger too? so do i!
