Anna won the Olympian of the Month Award for Compassion today at her elementary school assembly. It is an award given by the teacher of each class to two exceptional students in each class. Anna's certificate said hers was for "showing compassion to others and having love to shower on us!" We got to attend…

10K words to go. Here's a graph of the writing progression this month. Go to the NaNoStats tab from this link. (I think you should be able to see it without logging in.) It's pretty insane, but it's nice that I'm not behind by 2 or 3 thousand words. I'm right where I need to…

Well, I'm on the last 9 days of writing for NaNoWriMo. I only need another 14,000 words to complete the challenge.

With each passing year it's hard to not be shocked how much earlier the Christmas season starts. It's insane. We missed a couple yule-tides while in China so the ramp up date pushed a little further back while were gone. Next year I imagine that Groundhog Day will be the official start to the holiday…

Passed the halfway mark (and then some) today on my quest to finish a novel in November. I clocked in at just under 30K words. It's daunting to think of what the revision process will be like for me, but that's next month's issue. For now I just need to keep plugging away towards the…

It's like this today and has been for the last few. OK, it's wetter right now, but the girls did wear this rain gear today.

I broke the 17,000 word barrier today for NaNoWriMo, but I think I also gave myself carpal tunnel syndrome in the process. My wrist is killing me! Better ice it for another productive day tomorrow.
