I updated my profile.

It now includes a link to my book, and I took out all the stuff about debating.

Woohoo!

Thirty-three thousand words and change, in four weeks! I've never done NaNoWriMo, because November is stupidly busy for me with, like, my job, but by the end of this month I will have written nearly the target amount for NaNoWriMo, while looking after two kids full-time. Furthermore, while it's a draft, it's a good draft. There will be no complete rewrites. There will be touch-ups and additions and scenes that change location in the book, but I've never seen the point of "getting it on paper" only to go back and rewrite three-quarters of it. (Yes, this is a big part of the reason why I've temporarily abandoned the dolphin book. I have no heart for rewrites.)

I'm going to get dressed and take my kids to the mall for a while. Maybe I'll buy myself a non-food-type treat to congratulate myself on "well begun is half done" job.

My MIL just sent me this.
