I took my Jeep in for service, worked the food bank, ran some errands, cleaned about half my office (and packed 3 crates to take to a buy back place), then made soup. Oh, I also wrote 418 words and finished another chapter of my novella... I've got about 4 more chapters to finish the story. Unless the boys throw a curveball at me (hopefully they won't because I've got a firm deadline of Nov 25th to finish it.) Oh I also washed three loads of laundry... just one more to finish tomorrow!

Anyway... I'm also doing miniwrimo for November... it feels good to be accountable and held to writing every day. We'll see how long it lasts. (I managed to do it one year when I had no power or internet for 14 days so I'm sure I can do it this year!)

Good luck tomorrow, agdhani! May the writing gods smile on you!
