Update on life

I haven't been here in a while.

How are y'all doing?

I'm doing alright. I've read some books (the Hunger Games series, and in the middle of Fallout right now). I've watched some movies (Red, and Harry Potter). Ate some turkey (and ambrosia, and mashed potatoes, and stuffing, and rolls, and PIE). Had some family visit (despite not being American, they visit during Thanksgiving for the food). Gotten a french horn from school (ABSOLUTE JOY!!). And reconnected with some people in a necessary way.

That last bit really was necessary. There is only so much solitary life a person can take (not including friends far away, I'm talking irl), before finally they suffocate. I've just been so busy I never got to see anybody. And then someone else... Well how that got to where it was is extremely complicated, but burying all the issues for two months and the person as well did not work. Things are being fixed I hope. Only time will tell.

And then I officially gave up NaNoWriMo. First I gave up, then was convinced to start again, then changed to the ywp, and finally just completely gave up. I've learned that I cannot manage handwriting around 1800 words a day. And until I get a laptop that doesn't lose the ability to use the delete and space key with enough frequency to get in the way, I will be handwriting.

Also, I must say I am immensely happy that Alan and Luke gave away free digital copies of Erase This for thanksgiving. I'm listening to it on repeat right now.

So that is a basic update. I will be back to blogging properly soon I promise.
