The Sound of Meh

[letterblade]

Craft show: The only sale I made was to nevacaruso, who offered to come along and help set up. So I got hang-out-tiemz with a friend. And did some crafting. And set up a pretty booth. And, well, that was otherwise a bust.

NaNo: So with everything else going on this week, I fell majorly behind with NaNo. I had written about 500 words of prologue/first scene in the early morning of November 1st--which made me happy, as I had no idea how I was going to begin this darned thing--but hadn't had any time or spoons to work on it until today. And in the past few hours, I popped out over 3,000 words. So, hey, not exactly caught up, but a lot less behind than I was.

Current word count: 3,839. Out of 8,335, which is the word count I'd have if I was doing an even 1,667 per day. So...not as bad as I was doing earlier today. :)

Especially given that most of the day was fired due to major depression flare-up. Stupid brain.

*hug* I hate that kind of craft fair experience. My two latest craft fairs were a lot like that. I did on-LJ sales that were more successful right after them. Normally I feel weird about selling to friends, but the ego boost was what I really needed at the time.

Oh, have I pointed you towards the Three Micahs blog (http://mcahogarth.blogspot.com/)? I've found its advice on selling art really good.

I'm not doing Nanowrimo, but I'm doing Nanocraftmo, and I haven't made any progress on this week's 7 pieces yet yet :( (other than doodling some ideas) But tomorrow I'm planning to have a shiny and exciting making-stuff marathon, so hopefully I can at least catch up a bit.

And, well, that was otherwise a bust.

I say to the other craft show attendees: "Your loss." Hopefully, the next one will be better.

As for NaNo, you've accomplished more than I have at this point. Yay!

Sorry to hear the craft fair didn't go well :( I've definitely been in that boat and it sucked :-(
