Did anyone else have a Writo de Mayo carnival last night? Or did you find another way to celebrate?

Day Eighteen

For the first time in recent memory, the school down the street from me is having a carnival. It will have a cake walk, games and food. I’m looking forward to seeing the creativity of the students and staff. Some of the money raised will go towards eighth grade field trips. Secretly, I think they’re really holding a Writo de Mayo carnival.

How was your progress today?

What’s been your favorite snack or meal during Writo de Mayo so far?

You’ve made it to Day Fifteen! Congratulations!

Has your usual writing space changed any the last few weeks from all this activity? Has it become cluttered? Or the opposite?

It’s Sunday! Week two is winding down. A few of you take the day off from Writo de Mayo. Is there anything you’re proud of this last week?

Day Twelve

Did you have too much fun last night? Getting up (and staying up) early on a Saturday is against my nature. But guess what I’m doing? Making progress on my Writo de Mayo goals! What are you doing today?

Day Eleven

Last year on this day during Writo de Mayo it was half off night to see Iron Man 2 and we were supposed to eat our veggies. This year it’s Friday. How about going to see The Avengers and enjoying a salty or sweet snack with it? (After you work on your goals for 10 minutes. You would be surprised what you can accomplish in 10 minutes.)
