I'm Ba-ack!

For those of you who follow my blog, you're probably wondering where I've been, and what happened to my weekly posts. I am still alive, for anyone concerned. I was just sucked into NaNoWriMo. That yearly journey insane authors from across the country and the world take part in every November.

NaNoWriMo is short for National Novel Writing Month. The challenge to write fifty thousand words in thirty days. I've done it the last two years, and tackled it again this year. If you've ever done it, you know the anxiety you can experience from falling behind, the frantic "What happens next?" when you get stuck, and the research you have to do to make sure things are accurate. There was rather more research for me this time around than there has been before, which took up a lot more time than I originally thought it would.

But I finally finished up (the 50k; the story isn't finished quite yet) and I'm planning on getting back to posting regular blog posts soon. Yay!

I've decided to attempt another 50k in thirty days for the month of December. We'll see how that goes, and if I can pull off doing blog posts at the same time. ;) Wish me luck!

For those of you who completed the 50k challenge, congratulations! For those who didn't make it as far as they wanted, you got something done, and should still be proud of yourselves. For those of you who didn't do it, you missed out, but maybe next year?

I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
