My butt hurts. I've been sitting around on it all morning. First reading, then writing and now blogging. As you can imagine, in order to save my butt from permanent damage, I cannot add drawing to the mix. When I'm done here I need to stand up for awhile. Therefore, you are getting another drawing from the past today. This one was not in the sketchbook that I found the other day, but in a little cardboard portfolio that I had behind my couch. I had always meant to scan this drawing, but had never gotten around to it. This one was not drawn in my teens, but probably my mid-twenties. I find some things about it to be pretty problematic, but it's not terrible. I used to only do a couple of drawings per year at that point. This was one of them. I wish I would have worked more on my drawing when I was in my teens and twenties as I would be farther along now. I had no discipline then. I seem to have it now. It appeared one day. It's very strange.
Speaking of discipline, I'm very happy with my word count this morning. I wrote 3106 words(nine pages) in one sitting and as I already said, broke my butt in the process. But my grand total is now at 14,698, so I could get to my goal of 15,000 words by tomorrow evening quite easily. In fact, I may write the remaining words tonight and take tomorrow off completely. We'll see. Right now I have to think of something to do to give my broken butt a break. OH, and the NaNoWriMo website says that we should be at 13, 336 by the end of this weekend to be on track, so I'm already over the tracks. It also says that the second week is the hardest, and I can see that that would be true, so I'm glad I'm just a tiny bit ahead of the game.
I should get out of here actually. It is hot in here. I just looked at my thermostat and it said 78 degrees. I think, for now, I will just open the windows. There are dishes that need to be washed, as much as I hate the idea...
Edited to add one more thing. I had to add the NaNoWriMo widget, only because it matched the colors of my blog so perfectly. It looks smashing there, I think.

Glad to hear of progress on NaNoWriMo and the LOgo is GReat as WEll.
Keep up the writing and the blogging---but with all things---the pain comes too---a sore butt is the price to pay for all that hard writing work.
I love this drawing. The eyes are so expressive....I see sadness in them. Beautiful.
Sorry you butt hurts but am glad you have been doing more writing and are getting closer to your goal!
