Wire Willow had a pretty good grand opening. I sold quite a few items, all of them were sold to friends and family, but I now have a site that looks more experienced and popular. My only disappointment was that I still can't seem to break into the Etsy clientele. Just means that better marketing and research is needed. Why are they important? There are WAY more of them and the hard core etsy shoppers spend a lot more and shop more often.
Failed NaNoWriMo. I was about 6,000 words into my book when I decided, it sounded too much like a romance novel. No, there wasn't any hanky panky, but the mood and POV wasn't a sharp enough contrast to what I've written before. I want to scrap the whole thing and this time REALLY try to make something different. That means I need to slow down, really think about it, and then tip-toe ahead. NaNoWriMo is fun, but not everything can be done at a sprint.
My room. I know, still haven't taken pictures of it. Well I have but they didn't turn out very well. Until my husband has time (hint hint) to get some great ones taken you'll just have to take my word for it. The room looks wonderful. I've already begun to retreat to it more often. And while I haven't gotten much writing done in the small closet retreat that I made, my cat sure does love it!
So what does December hold? If I survive the holiday then I'll call that good enough. I need some time to just relax. But I wouldn't say no to more etsy sales!
6,000 words is huge when you compare it to my dismal zero. At least you tried. Congrats on the room. It sounds like both you and Kris have a "hidey-hole" now. Having a haven to retreat to I think is very important to keeping one's health and sanity. I really need to start blogging again. We finished my daughters room and she seems very happy with it. I wish I had only taken before pictures. That was severe lack of hindsight.
