That's my word total for Novel November as of 4 o'clock this afternoon. I have seven more days of writing to reach 50,000. I'm not worried. Although at this stage story ideas are getting a little thin on the ground. Maybe I'm just a little bit worried. I wish I could think of a different way to take a picture of my writing but you're stuck seeing my laptop screen. Today's word total was 1,712.

 

This morning the squirrel inside the square green feeder was digging around in the birdseed. It didn't bother the Sparrows on the right side perches but when a Sparrow would land on the left side perches and the squirrel moved, the bird would fly away.

 

Today's figures in Drawing Cute were Film Camera & Video Game Controller. The movie camera was easier to draw than I thought it'd be and the controller was pretty simple too. I'll still be glad when I've finished this section of the book. One more day.

 

I got smart and waited until the game had started before going over to Meijer for bananas and pretzel rods. Those are my blog-writing snack every night. Just a few of them for salt and crunch. I put my trip to the grocery on today's gratitude journal page. There wasn't a lot of sunshine around but I squeezed a little on the page. 

 

Along with my pretzel rods tonight I have a little Pyrex bowl of green jello. I'm sure a lot of you aren't fans of green jello but it's my favorite, especially if I make a big bowl of half lemon and half lime. Mm, good.

 

When I was drawing after supper tonight I heard the owl hooting again. It sounded closer than before. I wonder where it was that I could hear it so well. I wish I could see it.
