Keep on Truckin'

Hey wild and wooly world of post nano

It's been a little nuts lately, but I think that's par for the course. I think I'm going to attempt to keep this at a tues/thurs/sat schedule... and I know I've said it before.. but right now, at this stage in life, I need a dear diary.

So... where am I standing?

Okay, well, long story short, I hit the 50k I needed to win nano, slight problem though is that I still need about 10k more words to finish the story... editing will probably bring it down to the 45-50k range.. even I know a lot of it is fluff.

I've been having some family issues, some good, some not so good. Little Man turned 1 right around T-day... so, that's good! On the flip side of the coin, his Grandpa has been in and out of the hospital all month.  It's wearing me out. I kinda feel like a bad kid because I can't get to go see him as much as I want to, but I do what I can, ya know?

Back to the writing... I still have to finish. GoogleDrive isn't a great option on the android right now, probably because of the length of the novel... I heard that around 10k words is it's functional limit. Here's hoping they fix it somehow. On the iPad, it's much better- and is very functional for writing on the fly.  The keyboard interface is okay if not a bit small for my hands (which aren't very large to start with), so I find myself hunt and pecking doing the incredibly slow two finger thing, which I hate to do. Touch-typing all the way for me!! I just found swiftkey on the android, and it's the best keyboard I've used hands down. LOVE it! Swype is good... but man, I am SO much faster on swiftkey, where I think I'll actually go and buy the whole thing.

okay, I'm almost done with my super hot cocoa, so I'm gonna go and cut this short.
I'm going to pop more of the unedited novel up into the read page eventually, but I know it needs some serious edits.
