So as you all know, I'm doing NaNoWriMo. So far, I'm doing a whole lot better than I expected, though I'm losing focus quickly. My goal this morning was to finish my Cinderella story before 10:30. So far...I'm at the ball scene and I keep getting distracted by the internet.
Because the internet is distracting.
Normally I'd write by hand or use my typewriter, but that makes word counting difficult. I think what I'm going to try to do is get 1,000ish words written, then I'll let myself back on the internet. I'm at 447 so far, so that's not too much more.
Wish me luck.
Maybe if I'm really lucky I'll get on a roll and write even more than that!
How do you guys deal with distractions?

In other news, I've got my first commissions for crochet stuff! I made my brother a pair of fingerless gloves for his birthday and he wore them to work and his coworkers were like "where can we get those?!"
I have six orders in a variety of colors. I've already got one order half done and I'm figuring out my yarn situation for the others so I know what I have to buy and what I don't since I also need to buy supplies for Christmas presents.
This is super exciting because I never thought I'd sell anything I made...I figured I'd just be that crazy cousin who crochets all his gifts for the holidays, lol.
