So here we are in the middle of November. I forgot to update my blog at the beginning of the month because NaNo. That is going to be my excuse for everything. NaNo. I can't believe that it is already November. It seems like Winter decided to visit slightly early this year. Places are already getting snow. We haven't had any there, but there was snow in Texas. I'm jealous. I love the snow. I can't wait for the first snow. Neither can my dog. She loves it.
So October ended on a great note. Husband and I went on vacation the last week of the month to celebrate our anniversary, which was in September. We decided to vacation this year. It was nice. We haven't been on a vacation in a long while. We like to go in the fall when it is cooler. I can't deal with the summer heat very well. The whole bad air quality and not being able to breathe thing. I also hate the heat. I love the cool. So we rented a cabin in Luray, Va. It was in the middle of nowhere. I was completely unplugged. It was kind of unnerving to begin with, but lovely there at the end. We had a few days to ourselves. The trek out there was amazing. It went through the Shenandoah State Park. It was an uphill, well an up mountain trek, with a ton of switchbacks and windy roads. Brian loved the drive. The cabin was huge. They built and extra open room in the back with a lot of space and tables and such. Abby was able to go with us. She loved it . We were on eight acres in the middle of nowhere. The place had its own little hiking paths as well. That was pretty awesome. On Halloween, a few of my friends came out to kick off NaNo and spent the weekend with us. We tried to write, but there was a fire pit, hot dogs, and marshmallows and booze. It was so much fun.
I had a problem with my original NaNo project. It wasn't ready and my characters were not cooperating, so I changed to a new one. It goes. I was so far behind the first week, but I managed to crank out 17K in a week to catch up, now I'm slightly ahead and I'm trying to keep it that way. It has been a struggle to keep up this NaNo. I'm just not feeling it.
I'm also working on editing my novel from last year. So we will see. I'm just having a really bad problem with anxiety this month. I don't know what is causing it.
Anyhow, that is really about it for now. I have to get back to actual work.
