I have won Nanowrimo after 8
years. I’ve won because I have an outline, a theme, encouragement and
determination. I’d be the first to admit that it has been hard. There have been
4 days that I’ve stopped because my brain swirls with all of these ideas. My
brain need a break. In the past 2 days, I’ve typed over 8900 words to win.
After turning the corner on 40,000 words with 8 days to go, I was determined to
win. Before this year, 38,000 was my personal best. Now I will revise my book
and prepare for the manuscript editing this December.

Lose to Win
I’m quitting intro to quantitative
risk analysis because the software company wants me to use my work email. I can only use it at work not home. I buy the book but cannot use it. I email the
online college and the software liaison of my decision because I just want this
over with already. Now my focus is on
project management. I’ve purchased the corresponding book but cannot use it
which is frustrating. Therefore, I just
might return it. It’s with amazon and the truth is that the book isn’t needed
for the class.
I have to turn down my cousin
begging for money. This time she’s asking for $20-$30. I tell her that I cannot
because of my rent which is true. I just
feel that it is eerily convenient that she’s asking me first. I tell my father
about this. I don’t tell her how I’ve given her $100 for Christmas presents. Personally,
I think it’s unfair that she begs me for money.
Yes! I’ve paid $293 for PMP software
but it’s my money and I’ve budgeted for it. I haven’t budgeted to take care of her,
her children and myself. In the past
month I have started standing up for myself because I’m not tolerating
craziness anymore. I’m paying my bills and focusing on me!
On a much happier note, today is my
mother’s and aunt’s birthdays. I will eat a late dinner at Policy restaurant
reflecting on everything. I have grown
enormously this year. I am learning to
work on me more than ever and when to focus on myself.
I eat dinner at Policy last night
because it was my money. The nerve of my
cousin to contact me thinking that I am her personal piggy bank! I try out the brisket sliders which were
delicious! Chewing every morsel was my
personal revenge at her thinking that she could just disrupt my life like it
was nothing! Well, I get the last laugh.
Ha!
