I hate shopping. Even more than that, I hate crowds. So I was not one of the frenzied shoppers last Friday or even on Saturday. Today is different. I'll check out the deals on my favorite sites. I already know what I want to give my family members and dear friends.

In other news, I sent out my Holiday Newsletter this morning. If you haven't subscribed yet, email me at dmburton72@gmail.com and I'll send you a copy.
I joined the BIAW (book in a week) challenge that starts today. I have to report my word count each day. Now that's an incentive. LOL The last time I did this, I wrote over 8500 words. My goal this week is to write 10,000 words (that's 40 pages) on The Case of the Meddling Mama. I'll report next Monday.
Have a great week and try not to stress.
I used to work in retail, so I worked many Black Fridays weekends and Thanksgiving Thursdays. Doing so has cured me of ever wanting to go out and subject myself to the crowds and craziness...unless I'm earning a decent hourly wage, that is.
ReplyDeleteSo, with the BIAW challenge, you aim to write a book in a week? Wow! Best of luck to you with that!
My brother in law worked in retail until he retired last year. So I know what you mean. BIAW is just a name. I don't think anyone writes a whole novel. It's a challenge to write as much as you can in a week. 10k words would be a very short book. Mine usually run about 75,000+. I'm trying to finish Meddling Mama before the end of the year. BIAW will give me that push.
DeleteSO not a shopper over here! Never have been. So I love Cyber Monday! Half my shopping is done in one go.
ReplyDeleteThat is super, Alyssa.
DeleteGood luck on your challenge! I hope you meet and beat your 10,000 words.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shannon. Getting close.
