Goings on

Well, its been a while. Things got busy, and I lost my place in my little book, which is rather embarrassing considering its an abridgment. I have the full thing somewhere else, and perhaps I'll take a shot at it next.

Since my last blog, which is a looooong time ago, our pastor asked me to take over as Sunday School Director, which really surprised me, considering I'd only been to Sunday School twice. In four years. And now I'm trying to figure out who I can call on in a pinch. And I'm getting pinched right now. I have ten teachers. One wants out. And two are leaving for the next three months. Its hard enough finding a volunteer for one or two weeks, let alone twelve.

I started NaNoWriMo. National Novel Writing Month. One month. Thirty Days. Fifty thousand words. It started off fun. I whipped out 12-15,000 words in the first few days. Then Ryan got sick. And Hope. For a week. Then they gave it to me. And to Faith. She got better right around Thanksgiving. So, I worked good for a week, then sickness and disease ripped the heart out of November, and left me with roughly four or five days at the tail end to make up 30,000 words. I made it to 38,000 before time ran out. But, I'm continuing on anyway. (I want to see how my story ends. And Sandy would probably hurt me if I quit in the middle of it.) I've been posting it to my igoogle documents page, and she's been reading it. Every day. Even printing it off and taking it home with her. Even Faith read the first few pages and enjoyed it. Of course, school and work and family prevent her from finishing it right now. And it it pretty daunting. Nearly sixty pages so far and counting. If you don't have time to read an actual book, you probably don't have time to read this either.

So, due to life and everything interfering, a lot of things have fallen to the wayside. Hopefully, I can pick up the pieces in December.
