NaNoWriMo

I signed up for NaNoWriMo!  Write a novel of 50,000 words in the month of November!

While the concept is fascinating, I am afraid of starting it, and then fizzling out.  I am afraid it will take up too much time at the office.  I am afraid I will write something stunningly awful.

What better way to grow as a person than to confront those fears?  I signed up.

Yesterday I did a trial run, seeing how long it takes to write 3,000 words. 

Writing non-stop, stream-of-consciousness, I can do 3,000 words in 80 minutes.  Or, 40 words per minute.

Grocery shopping for the office

Figured I needed some tasty food for the office.  I spend so much of my life there, might as well eat well.

Went to Ralphs after the Y, hungry enough for breakfast. 

Quite enjoyable thinking of fun foods for the office. 

• Milk and Tea. 
• Individual Tropicana orange juice cartons. 
• Tons of soups - both microwaveable and "just add water"
• Pickle spears
• Mandarin orange segments
• Stuffed grape leaves
• Breakfast burrito
• Cherry popover from bakery

Didn't want to get too much all at once.  It's 3pm, and I'm going to eat some grape leaves.
