Day 8

When: 8:30 - 11:20
Where: same spot.
What: 1 story line
How: I sent my family away today. K took the girls to his mom's house so that I could get stuff done. I needed to write, of course, but I also need to do some cleaning around the house for book club tomorrow. Since the writing is the top priority, I needed them out of here or neither thing would get done. I also tuned my living room stereo in to my yoga itunes playlist. The natural sounds really helped center me and propel the writing. Since the main theme of my NaNo project is nature it got me deeper in the story.
Adapt? I would love to send the kids away more often. I think I will be doing this each Saturday until I leave on my trip at the end of the month. I love my kids, but they take too much concentration and steady writing is not really possible with them around. They will get older and it will be easier, but for now they have go to go, go, go.

I thought about keeping the baby, but I am glad I decided to send her with K. I am so very proud of myself for today's writing. Even if I do not get any more words out today. I have accomplished a lot today. And I now KNOW that I can get to 50K, I just might have to send the distractions to Nana's house.

Time to check in with my mentor, then off to have lunch and clean for book club.

Word Count: 15471 (2567 this morning)
I plan to write more during the day, my personal goal is to meet 16K today.
