How was everyone’s weekend?

We went to visit the in-laws and saw The Flying Karamozov brothers. They’re a juggling group (not actually brothers). It was fun.

We came home yesterday but the rest of the day was pretty much a bust. I mean the Mummy and the Mummy Returns were on - how was I expected to get any work done with that distraction.

Still, I did manage aover 1000 words.

The most important lesson that I’m taking from NaNo is that I can write A LOT in a very little amount of time. And I can write even more in a larger amount of time. I’ve been keeping track, and I very regularly average 6 pages in an hour (with the high of 8).

That means, on any given day, I should never write less than six pages. I always have at least an hour to write.

Another thing I’ve learned. It doesn’t need to take me several hours to read blogs/check message boards/yahoo groups, etc. It takes as much time as I let it take. And while I’m not willing to give up on everything completely, I don’t have to check this obsssively.

I know I’m acting like NaNo is nearing it’s end, and it really is for me. I’ve got this week and then I’m pretty much finished. I’ve got guests for Turkey Day (woohoo) and then I’ve got some other stuff that needs to be finished by the end of November.

So, what important lessons have you learned so far during NaNo? If you’re not NaNo-ing, what did you do this weekend?
