I did it! NaNoWinner 2018

It came down to the very last day, but I was a NaNoWriMo winner again this year! I finished parts two and three of my mall romance novella series, and started on the second in my veterans series. It was a very productive month.

I went over the mark while I was in my writer's group, so it was nice to have an actual cheering section when I crossed the finish line. :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! We don't like to travel much on holidays so our sensory processing disorder kiddo can enjoy the day rather than being overwhelmed by a lot of people and distractions.

Of course, being us, there were video game tournaments and lightsaber duels.

We hosted my Mother-in-Law, Brother-in-Law and his wife, and we had a great meal! The kids even ate more than rolls and pie. :)

But now I am woefully behind in my NaNoWriMo writing, but I'm hoping I can get caught up in the next week! Wish me luck!

I had a 5,000 word day!

I hit a new NaNoWriMo record for myself yesterday - I wrote more than 5,000 words in one day! So awesome! Part 2 of my Mall Romance Trilogy is done and Part 3 should be done this week.

Thanksgiving lunch at school

Every year the elementary school hosts Thanksgiving lunch a week before the holiday. You go during the assigned time for your youngest child (they call the older ones down from their classroom to eat during that hour).

Because I have a first grader, we got to eat this feast at 10:45 a.m. And while the food left a lot to be desired, the company was top notch.

My kids were so excited that mommy came to their school. They showed me all their artwork and introduced me to their friends. And when it was time to go to class, my youngest held my hand until we reached the door and had to be separated.

I snuck an apple into their backpacks so they could have a snack later in the day after eating that early, but all in all, it was a wonderful day.

My book is out!

My very first novella has been published! You can buy it here.

Nano update

Things are progressing nicely so far with my NanoWrimo book for the month! My goal is to finish book two of my mall romance trilogy by next week. Looks like I'm on target to do so!
