I had fun on Thursday and Friday morning last week, working on a "Cautionary Tale" poem for a Writing Magazine competition: "The Man Who Talked Loudly On His Mobile In the Quiet Carriage". The Boyfriend (and the Parents) found it amusing, so after a bit of awkward-scansion fixing, I think I'll send it in.
Didn't get any writing done on Saturday due to various Church things then meeting up with friends on the Saturday afternoon.
Today, I redrafted a short story exercise that might possibly be one I'll send to a women's magazine (waiting for some feedback on it), then -- finally! -- got back into the NaNoWriMo novel this afternoon. I'm aiming to have the first draft (100k ish works) finished by Easter, which means doing about 1,000 words a day till then.
Got 1,500 words of new scenes done today so it's a good start. The subplot of Katie's essay is developing, and a bit more about Jan & Keith's rocky marriage. And some more Sidgwick buttery cookie eating took place...

You've done well! The cautionary tale sounds brilliant, what a good idea. If it doesn't win the comp it could be a good one for The Weekly News perhaps?
I've tagged you for a meme - see my blog.
