    First Draft Blues

    December 14, 2015 /

    So, I did it. I managed to complete the first draft of my NaNoWriMo novel. The thing ended up being just over 91,000 words. I can now rest. Oh, wait. It’s Christmas time. There is no resting. We did manage to get the majority of our shopping done this weekend. That just leaves the rest of the shopping, including food shopping, wrapping presents, cookie making, and house clean up. Somewhere in the middle, I need to work and to sleep. Okay, just breathe. This is normal for me. Christmas happens every year and as much as I try I am still unable to make it as simple as I want…

    Christmas is in How Many Days?

    November 11, 2015 /

    Earlier this week I saw my first Christmas lights decorating a house. I shouldn’t be surprised since the weather has been so favorable. We should probably expect more decorations this year since our temperatures have been in the 70’s in recent weeks. For Northern Michigan, this has been a wonderful break before the cold weather hits. I have a rule in my house: the tree doesn’t come out until after Thanksgiving. Which according to the calendar, is in about two weeks. That weekend I will dutifully take my tree out its box (yes I have a fake tree and though I miss having a real tree, wood heat and real…
