250,000 words in a year. 20,834 words in a month – every month. I believe the post said 683 per day, or something close to that. Welcome to NaNoWriYe insanity! (hey, at least I didn’t sign up for the crazy word count club – 3,000,000!)
I wrote 900 yesterday. Absolutely nothing like I’d been pumping out during WriMo. Then again, I wrote a ton of other stuff too (newsletters) but I wasn’t counting that. Maybe I should…hmmm.
Do You Bleed?, Samhain’s Call and Gabriel Fell – these projects are going to get …

Wow, I didn’t think it’d been this long since I’d updated the blog. I’m actually a bit shocked and appalled.
Or something…
Anyhoo, the one thing I was being MUM about in the posts just before I went silent for the last three weeks was that the lawyer had called with a court date. Apparently the *DDD* had not responded to his summons (three in total, I believe – I’ve lost count) therefore he was placed in default, meaning we could proceed without him. And we did.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed …

Here a mo, there a mo…everywhere a mo mo.
And the sanity level here in the maw of chaos has slipped yet another percentage point or twenty. There are more mo things that have sprung from NaNoWriMo than I can count. At least on one hand. To that end, I’ve scrounged the links for FiMo, WaMo and EdMo. All beginning with NaNo of course; and then there’s the NaNoPubYe. I swear one of these days I’m gonna write a post in NaNoSpe (NaNoSpeak). Just to see how long it takes before …

The girls and I decided on an early Yule/Christmas present for our little family, and the oldest of my younger brothers helped them pay for it. Technically, the present is mine, but I share with the girls.
Pyewacket (Pye for short) is an almost four month old chocolate point Siamese kitten. He’s very cute – bright blue eyes, crossed most of the time, an extremely loud purr and naturally, being Siamese, he’s very mouthy. The only times he’s not making his presence known is when he’s sleeping, or trying to …
