I’m clearly creative in coming up with blog titles. =P I’m finally getting settled into the house in Kansas, well as much as I can get settled. They’re renovating half of the house, everything upstairs, so I’m living in the basement. Makes it very interesting. I haven’t had plumbing to a toilet in two days! But the plumber is supposedly coming to do to finish up and they can start on the upstairs bathroom.
Anyway…enough about my toilets. Because that’s not awkward at all.
I do finally have wifi and cable at my house as of Tuesday, so updating for ROW80 should be a breeze from now on. I’m going to do my ROW80 update first this week.

Now…for WIPpet.
If you don’t know what WIPpet is, it’s really simple. A WIPpet is a snippet from your WIP (Work In Progress). The snippet correlates to the date in some way, shape or form!
This week is an excerpt from the chapter I’m currently writing in Fallen from Grace. Chapter is called Probation Station. Math is difficult–
7 + 23 = 30 +20 = 50 – (4 – 1)= 47
You get 47 words from chapter 9! I’m debating on context or not…so I’ll leave it off and if it gets confusing I’ll put it in a comment somewhere. =P
She cleaned her face with her hands, headed to the bathroom to throw cold water on her face before sitting down in the break room and staring at the food in front of her. Her appetite had gone out the door along with her pride and sanity.
And that’s a wrap folks!
I love the convoluted WIPpet math. 😉 Ah…no appetite, no sanity, no pride…not off to a good start, or a good finish.
Oh, and excellent progress on the goals. Given the whole moving and lack of toilet issues.
I spend a lot of time in my office at work doing nothing right lol gotta fill that time with something!!
No. It was not a good thing at all
Dat math, tho.
I’m not even going to ask where you’ve been peeing. THAT would be awkward!
Lol my work is 10 feet from my back door so I’ve been going over there!
Like my math? I was feeling ambitious yesterday
For living in a house full of chaos and lacking plumbing, you are doing very well. Just keep it up and good luck with the house.
Thanks!!! I’m light shopping this morning =P
Is it wrong that I was impressed by your math?
That last line. Yeah, I can relate.
Lol I was impressed by it too! It’s only going to happen every once in awhile
Wow, congrats on the progress despite all those challenges! Reminds me of a recent snippet and the “smell of Grace” *g*
Nice little snippet!
Haha I guess it does remind people of that. This is in another chapter though, so it’s not about cat hoarding.
Blog titles are the hardest thing for me. Just like I can’t come up with book titles. Which is a problem when you’re a writer!
I don’t usually have a problem with book titles or chapter titles
oh, I do…I’m always scared the book title is boring, irrelevant, or the readers don’t understand the word… “Dissonance” is a word I have to explain to people all the time, so I’m worried I might have to change it :/
People should know that word!
I know! I think I’ll keep it so they’ll learn it once and for all! 😛
Good idea!
I really do like Grace. And peeing in my own toilet. Maybe not in that order!
I hope Grace weathers the storm. And that you can pee freely by the time you read this!
I can!! They finished plumbing about 5pm yesterday. Grace kind if weathers this storm. It’s a pretty big one
Hooray for fixed plumbing. And kind of weathering a storm seems better than not weathering it!
Congratulations on your toilet! And your snippet. lol Looking forward to reading more. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!!!
So glad to hear you have your plumbing back. Lovely, isn’t it? I thank the Lord almost everyday for indoor plumbing.
So… if she just washed her face, I assume this isn’t right after the cat incident. (Hopefully she scoured her entire being after that.) Was she crying, then? In front of co-workers?
This is chapters after the cat incident.
She’s crying because she just massively messed something up and potentially out her job on the line. =0
Ook! Poor Grace!
It’s her fault. Don’t feel too bad for her
If you hadn’t told us it this scene had no relation to the cathoarding, I’d have happily enjoyed my obliviousness and thought it came soon after that situation. Now… now I have to wonder what else Grace has gotten herself into.
Yay for working plumbing. Outhouses are illegal for most residences these days…
Well it’s the chapter after but isn’t related to hoarding cats at all.
