Furious Love
Link Posted on Updated on
I absolutely LOVE love. Whether I’m reading about it, writing about it or witnessing it, there’s just something about two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other that really does it for me. It’s…everything.
Have you seen Furious 7, yet? No spoilers here, but clearly it was a great movie because it hit billion-dollar status in a mere 17 days. A bunch of beautiful cars, crazy chases and spectacular stunts, of course, but I must say that one my favorite moments of the film happened at the end between Dom and Letty and what he said to her… AWW!
Who could ever forget this line from the 4th film?
“It starts with the eyes. She’s gotta have those kind of eyes that can look right through the bullshit, to the good in someone. 20% angel, 80% devil. Down to earth. Ain’t afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails.” – Dominic (talking about Letty)
YES! YES! YEEESSS!
Trust me, I could go on and on about the Dom+Letty and Brian+Mia ride-or-die romances…but I wouldn’t do them justice.
So let me direct you to the latest post from Shakir Rashaan as part of his Manly Musings series on USA Today’s HEA Blog.
Trust me — SHAKIR. NAILS. IT. He breaks it down so well that it’ll make you want to go back and watch F&F from the beginning…
Which is exactly what I’m planning to do at some point this weekend.
A movie marathon is seriously in order!

Well, it finally happened. I’m growing up and spreading my social media wings!
I know, right? I’m all late. lol But seriously —**in my #blackish Junior voice** — “I’ve gotta do more.”
(SN: I so love Marcus Scribner. He is hilarious on that show!)
Anyway…back to me being more social.

Happiness Is . . .
That awesome moment when you write the final word of your manuscript. 😀
Big. Happy. Sigh.
Now…let the editing begin! #MuchToBeDone
NaNoWriMo | Final Status
As of 9PM Sunday (Nov 30), I have officially written 3,280 words for the week:
Day 24 – 581 words
Day 25 – 267 words
Day 26 – 564 words
Day 27 – writing break/Turkey Day 🙂
Day 28 – 703 words
Day 29 – writing break 🙂
Day 30 – 1165 words
That brings my final NaNo word count to 31,384.
A little over 30K in 30 days? Not bad at all.
Though I am totally bummed that I didn’t write 50K in 30 days to win NaNo, I still have a few reasons to celebrate on Day 30:
* My WIP currently has 57,516 words and counting (includes 31,384 for NaNo).
* 30 of 34 chapters are complete; 4 more to write. I plan to knock those out this week.
* Roughly 257 unedited pages so far. Looks like I’ll be right around 300 when I’m done.
I’m excited tonight because NaNo helped me get out of slacker mode. I had been in a serious writing slump this year; progress coming in fits and starts…until November 1st when I finally got myself together. Over these past thirty days, I was reminded that I can write every day…and that if I do take a day off, it doesn’t have to turn into a month-long drought. This month was tough, but it was what I needed to keep pushing my pen. To stay in the game. It was worth it.
Well, folks…NaNo is officially a wrap. Congrats to all those who did make it to 50K and beyond. I salute you!
Now, back to the lab I go. It ain’t over…I have a novel to finish!!!

Day 21 – 1076 words

At least I achieved Week 2’s 27k goal! LOL Gotta celebrate when you can.
Week 3’s goal? Not even close. *shrug* But I am pretty proud of how much I knocked out today, the best of it flowing during the wee hours this morning.
Next Writing Goal:
Though 50K is still the ultimate goal, I’m definitely pushing to cross the 40K mark by Sunday night.
Back to work. Seven days and counting… #HellWeek
