50K Words

Well, I made the 50K and earned my badge. Actually, I wrote over 135K. As far as achievements go, not very impressive – as I am still unpublished. By contrast, Steven King writes something like ten thousand words every day.

Microwavery

The photo below is of my Indian leftovers from last night's delicious meal.

The microwave is the friend of the Inattentive. The process is simple:
  1. Pile your nosh on a plate.
  2. Insert your plate with nosh into the microwave oven.
  3. Set the microwave the oven to cook for a few minutes.
  4. Remove the garbage bag from the bin.
  5. Take the garbage bag outside.
  6. Stop to admire the flowers.
  7. Drop the garbage bag in the dumpster.
  8. Return to your kitchen.
  9. Put a new bag in the bin.
  10. Wash your hands in the sink.
  11. Pull food out of the microwave.
  12. Eat.
If you do not mind the dangers of radiated food, nuking it is the way to go.

Next month, I'll write about the importance of consistency and blogging often.

National Novel Writing Month

As a member of the National Novel Writing group, I have undertaken the seemingly monumental task of writing a novel in 30 days. On the first day, I wrote 2440 words. I hope the rest of the month goes as well.
