The pretty sunrise this morning, outside our window.
I woke up to see this outside the windows in our dining area.
And this:

And this:
What great colors to wake up to!
And waking up is what I am trying to do today.
18 November 2009, Parc de Belleville
The end is so close. I stand at 46,399 words towards the 50k needed to complete NaNoWriMo. A couple of good, long, posts and I am there.
Yesterday, I finished all I had hoped to write about Tess’ and my Saturday 14 Nov. meeting in the 17th and 8th. Today, I plan to tackle my new friend Karen’s and my journey taken last Wednesday to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont, the Parc de Belleville, and Cimitière Père Lachaise.
Velib’ cycles and autumn leaves
23 November 2009, outside my window
It is a cool, damp autumn Parisian morning as I begin to type.
It’s the fourth week of November; in one week it will be November’s final day and I will come to account with the number of words I have written for this blog for NaNoWriMo, the National Novel Writing Month. Twenty-two days ago, I decided that I would bend the rules a little for NaNo and not write a novel, per se, but write a kind of fictionalized memoir of my life in Paris. I decided, too, that I was not really writing a fiction of commission (an entirely made up narrative), but a fiction of omission (a true narrative, but one where I leave stuff out at will). Fifteen posts and 42,884 words later, I am here, at post 16 trying to think how in the heck I am going to organize all the thoughts which I have this morning, and also how to coherently describe some of the wonderful things that have happened in the past week!
In the previous post, I wrote a little about the weekend of November 14 & 15, but I had a little more that I wanted to say about Tess’ and my trip to the 17th and 8th arrondissements.
I think I shall begin there, and then see what happens.
