I DID IT!!! #2

no, not *a #2*. this is not that kind of blog.

i did nanowrimo. and i made the winner's list.

that is the reason for my sporadic posts last month. i could not keep up the writing and the daily posting here. but this is okay, because now i have to look back and go WOW.

nanowrimo, if you don't know, is National Novel Writing Month. a 50,000 word novel, to be created in a month. it's quite a task. i didn't realize how big a task it was. i mean, yes, i knew, but i didn't appreciate how taxing it would be.

i was thinking today, what a wonderful example of LOA this was. how so?

i only knew i wanted to do it. i never thought about what would happen if i *didn't* do it. i never thought about not having done it. i always just knew i was going to do it. i had been wanting to do it since early this year. so when someone asked me in october if i would do it, i thought "i can't be talking about LOA and such if i don't do this thing i really want to do. yes, i'll do it."

and i loved it. i loved every minute of writing that thing. well, no not EVERY minute. the i've-only-had-five-hours-of-sleep wasn't adorable. but the rest of it, pretty great. i so wish it was almost time to do it again. no i don't, i can use the year's break.

so i :
1) asked
2) believed
3) allowed
and i received it. nanowrimo was an amazing example of LOA! and now all i have to do is treat everything i want like i treated nanowrimo, and i'll get it, right? surely...

so what do i want next? i want to turn this thing i've written into something really good, then get it published. that would be so wonderful. yes! i attract that now!

so i've asked. now all i have to do is believe and receive! easy, right?

what i didn't do was finish the 21 days of gratitude properly. whooops. i'll have to do that on my own bat. i think it is incredibly wonderful and potentially very powerful, and gosh, i'm grateful for it. but, it was just on the list of things i could not also do at the same time as nanowrimo.

it's december now. i'm going to do the habit of 21 days of gratitude from now until christmas eve. we'll see what happens. wow! maybe i'll learn to be so thankful for my husband that he will no longer annoy the heck out of me with his shouting (that statement will just about guarantee he'll accidentally read this)! maybe i'll be so thankful for my children that they will be the most well-behaved, non-toy-throwing children ever!

just eating their veggies would be a good start...
