...and I'm back. And I did it. I wrote my novel in a month for the National Novel Writing Month of November. Whoa. 50,820 words. It's not complete. I did write a beginning, middle, climax and ending but it's all kind of out of order and needs a lot of work. It's also the final installment of my series, so I finally know what happens from beginning to end. It will make the revisions so much easier.
Somehow my family survived. They were all remarkably helpful during this time.
I have work to do now. Our family is facing a huge crisis, or potential crisis, and right now we're fighting to keep things right. In the meantime, I'm taking a completely unrelated but also family-themed trip to Alaska.
You heard me. Alaska. In December. On purpose.
I'm excited to see my family. It's been a while. It will be so awesome. At the same time I'm apprehensive. I hate cold. I am not a fan of long flights. My legs desperately like to stretch. I don't have an easy time sitting through a movie. Now imagine that during a 5 hr flight. Sigh. I really hate coach.
Ok, honestly I'll be so glad when this week is over. When I wake up in my own bed Wednesday morning I will breathe again.
And then it's back to writing. Here's hoping my family will remain in tact while I'm gone.

Woo! Congrats on your NaNo success. And best of luck on both averting the crisis and your upcoming trip.
Thanks. Apparently I've now been invited to go swimming while I'm in Alaska. This should be fun!
