In aesthetics, the sublime (from the Latin sublīmis) is the quality of greatness, whether physical, moral, intellectual, metaphysical, aesthetic, spiritual or artistic...
Er...What?
This Sunday, Sublime - in the artistic sense I suppose - is the word of the day. I will finish typing Her Dark Baron today! I will also attempt to write 2K in my NaNo project, but I'm not promising anything there...Ha! By Monday evening, my beta readers will be highlighting away in OO, finding my typos, my errors, my plot holes, or whatever it is that I need to handle. I'm excited!
For those of you who regularly read my blog, you'll know how giddy I really am. Typing this novella has been a task I've struggled to complete! I had to wrestle with myself to sit down and force my fingers put the words into the computer. There was always something more interesting to capture my attention, like reading a book, outlining for NaNo, writing for NaNo, or visiting around to fellow writers' blogs'. At last, I will shout - "It's Complete!"

You must be so excited!! I know you've been trying to get that typed for awhile now. I'm sure you'll manage to type and work on NaNo...especially with sublime being the word of the day. Good luck with today and the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteAwesome idea on the 12 days of Christmas Reading! I will definitely check it out.
Thanks, ladies! I am excited.
ReplyDeleteAnd full of fun?...Ohhh, I hope so, Alberta.
Lauren, I cannot access your blog/webpage. Every time I go to independent films, I get a warning that script on your page is causing my browser to run slow and may make it unresponsive. I'm not sure why...but didn't want you to think I'd forgotten about you.
I see your NaNo word counts are tooling right along! Great job.
thanks for comment on trailer - it was those words causing the confusion - did you find it so - did you understand?
ReplyDeleteYeah! So glad to hear you'll finish your typing today. I know it's been driving you bananas. Time to celebrate!! (I'll crack a cold one in your honor over my gumbo this evening. And it'll be a delicious cold one, because I live in Oregon -- the land of much rain and very good beer. Ha!)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo for finishing your typing! Why is it what we need to get done we don't want to do?!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing so well at NaNo and you 12 days of christmas is getting me feeling festive!Keep up the good work!!
Very excited for you, Nadja. I know you worked hard on the novella and to finally have it moving towards the final stages has to be exhilarating.
ReplyDeleteHave a great coming week and all the best for the final push to the finish line in NaNo :)
Yay! That is so exciting! Congrats all around. It's an amazing feeling to finally step back and say, "Look at that. It's done." You better part and celebrate this milestone. We all know it doesn't mean the work is finished, but it's now more of a butterfly than a caterpillar. Good work. You've done very well. Congrats again!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like the feeling of finishing a Nano project and kudos to you for getting close to that finish line!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the last 10 days!!
So far so good on the reading of the novella. I know what you mean about self-torture: typing a really lot amount of words!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!! I love it when you reach the point where you say, "done." At least until you have to pick it back up and start editing!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't know if you got my email or not, but I'm totally in for the 12 Days of Christmas!!
I must get around to reading your books, Nadja. I'm writing a note to myself now.
ReplyDeleteI get so excited when you get excited! Hopefully you get your NaNo words done, and I really hope you complete Her Dark Baron today!
Congrats on this milestone. :) It's a great feeling.
ReplyDeleteI finally got around to downloading Claiming the Prize. Looking forward to it.

ReplyDeleteAs for the editing that will begin - no wait...I'm already getting chapters back from betas...It HAS BEGUN!! lol. I'll be hard at work for the next week or two...:)
Hey, Nadja! In Australia we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but Happy Thanksgiving anyway!
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, Nadja! Congratulations on the completion of your novella! That's huge. It looks like you are also doing great in the NaNo department :-)
