My Cardboard Balcony

Hi, everyone. In lieu of Storytellers this month, I participated once again in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. My personal goal was to write at least 60,000 words by the end of November. For those of you who don't know,  [Insert Self-Discovery Here],  my recently published debut novel,   was a product of my work for NaNoWriMo 2012. I was hoping to see equally fruitful results this year - and sure enough, I was successful. As of November 30th: - I wrote over 60,000 words, as per my personal goal. And the best part is: I don't think the novel's even halfway done. - I came up with a working title: Just A Little HEA. It may or may not change. - I got a better idea of the structure and beats of my novel. The middle and end are taking shape, and they're looking good. - I now have to catch up on all the grading I procrastinated on thanks to NaNoWriMo. Short stories and Hamlet argumentative essays, here I come! Thanks for coming along for the ride, y'...

Gah. I'm sad Thanksgiving break is almost over. I've been writing, playing Heroes of the Storm, procrastinating on grading, eating too much food. I'm definitely thankful for my family, friends, and loved ones (and my kitty cat!), as well as for how much I've been able to accomplish in just a few months. I honestly could have sworn I had something else I wanted to address in this introspection, but...quite frankly, I forgot! So if I remember, well...I guess I'll let y'all know? ...Oh! Oh, right! The blog looks different now! Yep! Almost a decade later, and I finally updated the template so it doesn't look like outdated crap! Nice and clean now. Things are just trucking along, huh? Anyway. Gonna milk the last 48 or so hours of my break for all they're worth. Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone!
