NaNoWriMo Writing Schedule

NaNoWriMo 2009

One way I was able to convince my husband and myself that I could do this without impacting our normal life was to create a schedule where I write more on days that I'm off and less on days that I work. Good news for me is that I don't work much in November. Counting weekends, the (up until now) annoying furlough days, the two days off for Thanksgiving, Veteran's Day and a vacation day between Veteran's and a furlough day - I have 16 days off in November and work 14 days. I am going to ask for a tentative day off on the 30th, in case I need it.

Now this calendar looked really pretty in my original Word document, in a table with color coding for the text and whether the day was a working or off day. But alas, I couldn't figure out how to recreate it here so I converted it to a list. Which works just as well for tracking my progress.
