Camp Nanowrimo '13 Done!

The title says it all. Of course it lasts for the entire month. I met my goal early and decided to take it easy today. Of course, the really bad thing is that I feel out of my own loop. If you know what I mean. I haven't even looked at anything of my own, other than this story I was working on the past four weeks.  It might also be because there were a lot of things on my mind too. Birthdays, end of school for my kids coming up, my husband being injured on the job and not being able to see the specialist for so long. Money woes. It's all there. Like a bad white trash soap opera.

There were some good things too though. One kid started playing soccer for the first time. Enrolling my youngest into school for the coming fall. Friend's new baby arriving! That was awesome. Oh and teenage daughter breaking up with "boyfriend". Others might not count that as a good thing. But legally an adult, high school drop out that asked my fifteen year old to move in with him. Yeah, it was a good thing. The break-up obviously and she only spent one night crying about it. Drama. I barely remember the days in my life where there was none. And then I hit middle school. Wow, I feel old. And ranty. And a little blessed, if I'm honest.

So now I get the fun decision of what I want to work on next during May. And I might (read: most probably yeah) be moving. So packing will take up a lot of my time. I'll see what I can manage and what captures my attention. Even just going through the pile of stuff that simply needs editing might be a good place to start. It's almost as if I don't feel creative, because this month's story just wrote itself. I liked it, but it needs way too much more work at the moment.

I'll try and keep those that read my stuff here, updated on what I'm planning. Thanks for the patience guys!

  1. Hope everything is going well. My 17 yr old just graduated a year early!!(Yay!) :) Have a 7th grader now and school has just begun. Rereading some of my favorites of your work and STILL loving it! Can't wait for your updates esp with Max (DA) & Logan (X-Men). I love how he loves her SO much and how they are so right together. I have a sad feeling they are getting close to finding out about Ben & his killings. As per usual OUTSTANDING job. :)
