Sip, Sip.

During November, I wrote a book.  I was motivated by the promoters of National Novel Writing Month.  You can get the scoop on NaNoWriMo on their website. 

I originally titled my book:  Writing Under the Influence.  My entire book was written between sips of wine.  When I took a sip, I'd interject the words:  Sip, sip.  As I wrote, I e-mailed chapters to my audience of one and dear friend, Sarie.  She suggested I name my book:  Sip, Sip.  I like Sip, Sip better.  It's cuter.                 

I often wrote here.  But, where am I and where's my wine?  !I must have slipped away for a refill).    

Having fun while I was writing was my main priority.  I Had to embark on my journey with this bottle.

I love anything cute and colorful.  My second writing companion was Funky Llama.

Bottle #3 was Lucky Duck.  For five days I was feeling lucky and loose.

I chose Yellow Tail for my fourth bottle, another dose of cute and colorful.  It didn't taste bad either! 

Mid month the wine was flowing and I began to relax with Bottle #5.

During any challenging endeavor, humor helps.  I had to have some of this!

Last but not least, I sipped across the finish line with Bottle #7, Cedarburg Spice.

My first bottle lasted five days so I anticipated I'd drink six bottles in the thirty days of November.  I drank seven.  The title of next year's NaNo novel may well be:  How I Became a Wino.

FYO:  My reward for writing 50,119 words is more expensive wine from now on, nothing less than $7.00 a bottle.
