Thirteen days until the end of NaNoWriMo. The writing is going well. I’m in a groove and just bumped my word count up over 35,000. At this point, I’m more afraid of finishing than not finishing.
(I know. Bizarre, isn’t it? This fear of success? One more thing to add to my list of Things to Bring Up in Therapy.)
What have I learned on this journey so far?
--At least half of doing something is simply believing you CAN do it.
--4:30 a.m. is really early.
--The Crock Pot is my friend.
--I cannot do it all. I just can’t. Letting go of certain things I think I should do enables me to do the things I really want to do. (And you know what? The earth doesn’t self destruct when I say “no.”)
--My husband is amazing. Still.
Thanks for following my progress! (And being patient while I totally neglect this blog...)

Who is this woman?
- Llama Momma
- My name is Robyn Whitlock, and I'm a work-at-home mom to three boys. I enjoy writing, reading, and cooking, not necessarily in that order. I hate doing laundry, which is unfortunate since I do a lot of it!! Oh, and I recently bought a llama with a few girlfriends. He lives in Ecuador with a family who finds him useful in their day-to-day lives. I'm still his momma, though.

Way to go Llamamama! It is a journey to not be an intentional underachiever (I should know!) and you are well on your way to significant achievement. You inspire me to do more! Write on!
Thanks for the update! Glad to hear you are still plugging along. I like your list...I could take a few pointers from the first item!
National Novel Writing Month sounds awesome! Your self-discipline is inspiring. I didn't join NaNaWriMo in time, but I have some projects of my own I've been thinking about. You may have just given me the umppphhhh I needed.
So good to check in!
Keep inspiring the masses and have a great time. Sounds like you are.
Hooray Llama Momma! I, too, am knee-deep in Nanowrimo and counting down the days (and the words). :) Keep up the good work!
