Tap Tapping on My Keyboard
It is now 12 hours and 42 minutes into NaNoWriMo, and am I madly clickity clackiting away to reach my daily goal of 1700 words? Of course not. No, instead I’m madly clickity clackiting trying to incorporate a friend’s edits into An Uncivilized Yankee. It’s taking a loootttt longer than I thought it would. There were some issues with my use of dashes–she thought they were overused–and my sometimes confusing internal dialogues. And I’ve yet to start on the dreaded synopsis. I’ve got a personal deadline of mailing this stuff out on the 21st (to avoid any possible holiday delays).
Obviously, right now I’m working on neither project. Ah, Procrastination, what a fiend you are. I got sucked into checking my bloglines to see what Bernita’s Object was and what wisdom Miss Snark had for us today. From there I clicked over to Honest Critiques for the first time and only just now pulled myself away. Check Torgo out–you won’t regret it.
Well, the Punkin is still asleep, hopefully for another hour, so I’ll go be a good girl and work on those edits. Perhaps if I get a few more chapters done, I’ll reward myself with starting the new novel tonight.

Yikes! Quit slacking off already… (said the kettle to the pot).
