Well, I didn't MEAN to not write in here all month, but hey, it's November – at least I had a good excuse. It was budget season at work, and I've been participating in National Novel Writing Month (Nanowrimo)… and I successfully finished my novel! This was the tenth year I've participated and the seventh finish. This year I wrote a straight up science fiction story, which I'd never done before, and man let me tell you, it is pretty ridiculous. It needs a massive overhaul – plot threads, characters, etc. were dropped willy nilly in favor of others, there's a kidnapping and a space kraken, telepathy and a cliffhanger. With no explanation. It's terrible. I kind of love it. If I ever go back to it and am able to fix its many, many problems, it could actually be pretty cool!
Anyway, expect to see more posts in December. Well, you know me, always thinking I'll update and then being too busy. But budget season is over as of today (the office consumed SEVERAL bottles of champagne after work this afternoon) and I'm not writing a terrible novel with space kraken so you just never know. Plus! I'm finally sitting down and making some stuff from all those bead show hauls I've managed over the past few months.
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving; ours was particularly delicious for some reason.
And in four minutes it's December! Where on EARTH has this year gone?
