June

I'm gonna be buuuuusy!!!

I've decided to torture myself yet again..
I love that I can be arm twisted into these things
lol

I have signed up for BuNoWriMo in June..
(stolen from the Tart's blog)

So what IS BuNoWriMo? The Burrow Novel Writing Month.




When: The 30 days in June.



What: Write at least 50,000 words in the 30 days of June.


How: Very similar rules as NaNoWriMo... The traditional version means you can't start until June 1 and you write 'a whole book' (50,000 words worth anyway) in the month, but like NaNoWriMo, rebels are welcome... rebels would be people who continue on an already started WiP, people who write collections of shorts or non-fiction, people who want to set their OWN rules... It really just just a support system for a fast paced writing month.

What we DISCOURAGE is editing as you go. The point of writing fast is to let go of that inner editor so you can get the WORK done. Rewriting can come LATER.

If you are interested in joining us, just go here and join... that simple... then you will get the updates via facebook message (about weekly this month, maybe twice a week in June—we won't clog your inbox)

But for NOW: tie up those loose ends! Do whatever outlining or character sketching you like to accomplish pre-writing... get that brain going on your novel idea...

And resign yourself to the fact that when I am part of the planning committee, you will often hear you need to just get naked.


so.. I am going to be in the rebel category and try to finish my wip that I started last year..

Fit Friday

It's time for Fit Friday!!!

So I have been on the South Beach diet since Tuesday and so far it has been pretty easy. The first week of any diet is good for me, it's what happens after that "honeymoon" week is what kills me.
This time, I am determined to stick with it. I have seen such great results so far (I am down two more pounds today) that I am motivated!

I went to a Body tone class at the rec center last night. It was easy enough I wasn't overwhelmed, and hard enough I knew I was getting a good workout. I hope to keep going, and add a Zumba class. One of the other first-timers I talked to said it is a blast.

I have been getting a lot of great information from http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/ she has tons of recipes and great stuff.. Go check her out! I am a fan for sure :)

Anyone else having luck with dieting this week? Let me know.. we can all lose together!!



On a side note, I finished BuNoWriMo for June with 17,147 words. Not the 50,000 I wanted, but life happens. I am happy with what I have, done lots of research and now can move forward to hopefully have a first draft done by the end of July. *excited giggles*

Happy Friday!
