Wednesday, 1st December -- Oh wow, finally I get to write December -- and now counting down and there's still so much to do -- but you know what? It's fun, it makes you smile and we always play Charlie Brown's Christmas while decorating the tree and that of course means dancing. We decorate the living room dining room, kitchen today and tomorrow -- Yep, I'll post photos.
EXCELLENT NEWS: I finished RECKONING yesterday!!!! Now, it's back to the beginning to edit and clean up all the little nonsense that creeps in and untangle the plot threads that always, without fail, get tangled up. And get names straight -- I'm always changing a minor character's name, why? No clue. So I met my goal and finished the book by the end of November. I'd say there's another full month for edits, with the holidays, maybe longer.
I feel a happy song coming on -- Oh what a beautiful morning, oh what a -- you can finish singing the song for me, in spirit.
It's the usual not-quite-winter day here, high of 68 and of course sunny. Rain, where are you? Have we sinned? You're punishing us? Please no. Some rain chants and dances, please --
