Brrr. We’re having a cold spell. My computer says it’s currently 23 degrees. Ouch!
So here’s how it went this week:
Writing: I was so afraid to read my last chapter, which is the climax of the horror part of the story. I put it off and put it off, thinking it was a mess. I finally reread it yesterday, and I really like it! I just hope my beta readers will. I also wrote almost 1500 more words, which was basically the denouement of the horror part, and kind of a little climax (no jokes!) of the romance. I started an epilogue, but I have no idea what I want to do here. I don’t know if I want this to be a complete HEA, or do I want to end it with something happening to let readers know the evil isn’t over? I will ALWAYS have an HEA for the romance part of any book I write (or at the end of a series), but horror doesn’t always go that way. I may need to brainstorm with someone.
Exercise: Walking on the treadmill every morning is continuing as usual. I’ve upped my speed just a tad. I only got to the gym one day. Monday, I had my doctor’s appointment. I went to the gym Wednesday. Then, Friday, I took too long at lunch, so I didn’t have time to work out. I only get an hour to get food and work out. It’s fine when I take my lunch, but when I have to get something, it pushes me.
FlyLady: This is the one I’m most proud of this week. I cleaned off one half of my dresser (this was a job that took a couple of hours…it was that bad), cleaned my bathroom sink (I’m letting hubby clean his side), cleaned part of my tub (it’s huge), shopped for groceries, did three loads of laundry, and WASHED MY CAR. Did I mention it’s getting cold around here?
How did the rest of you do with your goals?

I just leave the rain wash my car. 🙂
We haven’t had enough rain to wash it off. I kept hoping, but….
As I look at the mess lying around my house, I say you had a great week!
🙂 I’m tired of the mess. I want to not have to rush to clean on Thanksgiving. LOL
23 degrees? Our temp was twice that (46) this weekend, and I was thinking how freezing it was. (South Texan, through and through.) Stay warm!
And good for you getting so much done! What a good week.
I don’t like it when the temps get below freezing. Keep it above 32 and I’m okay, but the twenties? Ugh. The scary thing is, it’s not even winter yet, so I’m wondering if we’re going to have a cold one this year.
Thanks! I really feel good about this week.
I know what you mean about mess. Before November, I was tackling a decluttering/cleaning job each weekend, but since NaNo took over, the mess has been building up again. Well done for your progress on so many fronts.
I’ve found that if you work on the house in small increments all week, the weekends aren’t so bad. But I just had so much energy for some reason on Saturday. 🙂
I remember when I was doing NaNo (two years in a row). I let EVERYTHING go. So, I don’t do NaNo anymore. LOL
If the evil is still lurking, will you address that in another book?
I’m glad the chapter turned out better than you thought.
And great news on the exercise and cleaning. You’re getting so much done. 😀
Well, that’s the thing. Do I want to write a sequel? Not particularly. But in horror, the book often ends with evil still lurking. You will think everything is fine, but then….
