Well, I need four-hundred sixty-seven words to reach my goal for the month of April. I have been trying to think of what to write to help me with this.
ShoutLife
I have been on ShoutLife a lot this month. There have been times when I should have been writing, but instead, I was on ShoutLife. I have got to get better at monitoring my time on ShoutLife, which is very addictive.
Right now, I have written ninety-two words. I only need 375 more words.
School Is Almost Out
As of right now, we only have 18 more days left in school. I am very thankful because then it will be Summer Vacation. Yea! I will not have had the summer off since 2001, the year of the school. I am looking forward to having the summer off. I have no plans as of yet other than to take a vacation with my husband.
I have other choices, but I don't know if I want to exercise those because it would involve me not having the summer off.
I am going to finish Allegations. My brother is going to injure me if I don't.
I have written 212 words. I only need 255 more words. This is getting harder.
Blogging
Blogging has taken over the world. Everyone has a blog. People write about some silly stuff in their blogs, me included. I know a couple of people who have like 10 or more active blogs. That's crazy.
I have been journaling since I was 10 or 11. I can honestly say that this is something that I have been doing regularly.
Vlogging, or video blogging is starting to get more popular. This is where people journal by video, so that the world can see their face and hear their words. I am not sure that I am ready for that.
Technology, where is it going to take us next?
I have written 337 words. I only need 130 more words. What can I write that would take 130 words?
What in the world is my daily quota for the month of March? I need to make sure that I keep it low. I looked, it is 700/day. This is getting nerve wrecking. Why did I make these goals again?
Once I have finished writing for the year, I should have written over 500,000 words. Right now, I have written a little over 53,000 words.
I am proud of myself because I have written more words each month, which is good. Here are my stats:
January - 2,260
February - 13,428
March - 16,758
April - 20,870
I hope that I will write more in May.
I have written 459 words. I only need 8 more words.
Well, I believe that this will get me over my quota. Thank the Lord, I am 11 words over.

Speaking of Handwritten Novels
I looked at the spiral that contains the handwritten portion of my Allegations Novel. I had handwritten quite a bit of the novel. I was going to tear the pages out of the spiral, but when I saw how many pages there were, I didn't tear them out.
Wow!
Wow!
Editing Past NaNo Novels
I have decided to edit my past NaNo Novels. I read part of one of the novels. I saw that there were some errors. Both of the stories are good stories, and they could be even better with some editing. I am planning to do it over Spring break.
For the most part, Flirting with Danger can be considered finished. I just need to do some filling in and revising.
Captive by History needs to be completed. I need to do some filling in and revising as well as finish the story. I think that this story could be multiple books. I really like this story because it involves quite a few characters that I have created in the past.
I am going to have to type up the hand written portions of Allegations as well as finish it up. I am no where near being finished. I am going to work on it in the summer.
I have my work cut out for me.
P.S. I am thinking about having Jolene design the covers for me. My girl is off the chain. She drew some stuff for me before, but I lent them to my father and I never got them back. I am so sad about it, too.

Gossiping Thoughts
I am currently working on a series of short stories entitled, Gossip. I was just thinking about gossip as I typed up one of the stories. It is amazing how quickly a Christian can get caught up into gossip. I know from experience.
I did not grow up in a gossiping household. We did not do taht. Even now, my mother is the last person to know any kind of gossip. Once it gets to her, it is usually 6 months old. We did not have a gossiping spirit at our church either.
At one of my more recent church homes, I became caught up in gossiping. It was easy to do because the pastor has a gossiping spirit, and the whole church has that same spirit, but they call it "SHARING INFORMATION." That's a load of bull because it is flat out talkign about people.
My brother and I happen to know some people, who know some people, who know some more important people. So, we have access to some of the top gossip about well known people in the religious arena. My brother and I got caught up into gossiping with the pastor. We were the ones who verified any gossip that he heard. We got deep into it, too.
In all honesty, it was fun being the one who knew the gossip. I ain't even gonna lie. That was a rush, to have people coming up to me and saying, "Is it true, what I heard about SO IN SO?" It felt good. (Sin is fun and it feels good for awhile.)
Things turned bad when my brother and I were the ones on the receiving end of the gossip. (Read a little about that here.) It is a lot more fun telling the gossip than it is being the one who talked about. Lord, have mercy.
Now, I am no longer into gossiping. I have to pray though, because it is hard to resist wanting to know more when someone says, "Have you heard what happened to SO IN SO?" It takes a lot to not say, "What happened?"
Be careful what you say about others. Someone may end up talking about you.
