House Ownership

Today my husband and I bought our first house! We've been married for a little over a year and have been doing our best to save our money, but it hasn't been easy since my husband lost his job earlier in the year and has just recently gotten another one that doesn't pay as well but he's at least getting decent hours, unlike me.
I have a job right now, but it's part-time and I'm not getting as many hours as I thought I would be. We're doing alright now, but it will be tight for a while so I'm looking for a second job.
But back to the buying the house part. After we got the keys to the house we went looking for furniture and found a nice dining room table and chairs set at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $100. I also found a nice computer desk at Salvation Army. We took the furniture to the house and since there's actually furniture in the house it feels more like ours. We are going to start packing soon and hope to have most of our stuff moved in by the end of next week.

NaNoWriMo

Alright, so it's taken me a bit longer to post this than I thought.
NaNoWriMo had me officially beat. This was my first year participating and I thought I would be able to write as I went along since I forgot about NaNo until about a week before it started. Writing this way worked for a while, but I learned that I'm more of a planner when it comes to my stories. I especially didn't succeed because I was busier in November than I originally thought I would be. I tried my best to write everyday, but I ended up thinking about my story more often than writing. I only ended up with around 16,000 words, but I plan on continuing with this story but at my own pace. I plan to participate next year but I will plan the story more throughout the year and hope that I won't be as busy so I can write everyday and meet the word goal.

NaNoWriMo-Days 6 to 27

Have been trying to catch up on word count. I have not been successful so far and won't be successful within the next couple of days, I am too far behind to even think about winning NaNo this year. I'll post more on Wednesday or Thursday.

NaNoWriMo-Day 5

Continued writing my fanfiction. Writing today went better than the other days, but I could still write more each day.

NaNoWriMo-Day 4

Tried to get caught up again today, but was not successful. I was at church longer than I expected and had an online RPG to play tonight. So all in all it was more of a non writing day, although I did get some writing in. Here’s to a more successful tomorrow.

NaNoWriMo-Day 3

Tried to get caught up today, but it didn’t work. Tomorrow I just need to tell myself that I can’t go on the internet unless I need some reference for my story. I won’t be able to write for a few hours tomorrow, but when I do, I need to just focus on my story. Tomorrow will be a no distraction day.

NaNoWriMo-Day 2

Today I’m starting a new story. I liked the one I started yesterday, but I’d like to plan it a little more. The new story I’m starting is a fanfiction that I’ve been working on for years but could never get it passed a certain point. Now I’m trying again, and hopefully I can keep the flow going.
