A blog to house my musings, curiosities, and fascinations. |
Well, so much for my plan to blog every day in December I knew I had to get in here today though 'cause a couple super awesome fantabulous things happened! I started this paragraph a million different ways, but none seemed quite right so all are now lost in the ether of deleted words. I wanted to convey how fulfilling my first ever Nano experience was, but every time I wrote it, it sounded like bragging, which was not my intention. I was the slacker of my team after all! It was really Carol and Jayne who pulled the Black Team to word count victory in the Nano Write-o-Thon, and Jeff who pushed me to write more than I thought I could. It was my team that pulled through and dragged me onto the winner's podium with them. And that is what made my first Nano experience one to remember. Thank you for helping me reach my goal, and contributing to such a successful fundraiser! Read the full stats here: "2018 Results" But now, with Nano over and the first week of December almost gone as well, I need to start getting back to my normal routine! A la Elle, here is my goals list for December: Announce "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" November winners on Dec 7th SuperPower Reviewers review crediting for Dec 6-8 Review crediting for Dec 12th Raid Review crediting for Dec 13-15 Update my "Habit Heroes " tally every day Secret Santa from Dec 12-24 Clean up email "The Contest Challenge" Reviews for "Anniversary Reviews" and "SuperTower Review Room MB Rewards" Speaking of reviewing ... SM surprised me in my inbox yesterday with this: Never ever have I been more surprised by something happening to be on this site. I was truly bowled over! I guess I had always seen Good Deeds as something other people won, but never me. I still don't think it has fully sunk in But now I'm totally ready to shower my "Secret Santa - Closed" with oodles of Christmas goodies! Funny note about winning Good Deeds: I told my bf I had won actual money on here and he said, "How?" I said: "By sending good reviews." And he said: "What if you sent bad reviews?" And I was like: "Well ... I wouldn't have won then, silly!" lol! Anyway, I'm off to sleep off this cold. Ta-ta! -Emily |
