Hello again! I apologize for the continuted radio silence in late November. For a little while there, I was behind on
NaNoWriMo, and playing mad catch up, but then I just got caught up in the story. I ended up hitting something like 59K (for those who don't know, the challenge is to write 50K in a month), and I have three scenes remaining until the end. I'll admit I broke one of the primary NaNo rules this year. The idea is to start something from scratch, but I was already 53K into a novel, so I started from sort-of-scratch at the start of the second half. If you count the 1500 words I added to the first half during the course of the month, I'm over 114,000 words and expect I'll break 120,000.
Unfortunately, I've got papers and end of the year school work to knock out, as well as an essay to polish before my reading (eep!) this Friday. My goal will be to finish and give one good revision to the book before my husband arrives for the holidays. He's driving(!) from Buffalo here to Tucson, so his exact arrival isn't firm and won't be until he's on the road really.
In the meantime, I'll be continuing to work on (and trying to post about):
- The Circle Bathroom Rug (Book: Crochet Me)
- A felted hookbook (based on the Lion Brand Yarn website free pattern)
- A felted bag (based on the Uncommon Crochet book's tube bag foundation)
- Coasters I'm making... which will be for sale on Etsy, hopefully along with other items (more info soon I hope)
- and a top I'm designing.
If the last one works out, I plan to put the pattern up for sale on Etsy as well. My goal in the next few weeks is to strike a good balance between schoolwork and crochet, as well as celebrating my big 3-0 later this week.
Wish me luck!
