As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

So I hit 50 and my brain shuts down, is that how it works?

That could explain why I disappeared from here for more than a week. But actually I think that maybe it was the fact that this NaNoWriMo thing has taken up all of my useable brain function. Apparently I can’t try to crank out words, however lamely, and blog at the same time. OK, that and the dozen or so doctor visits my wife and I have had over the past three weeks.

I’ve definitely been distracted while working on this thing, maybe because I’m still not in love with it, even if I do like the idea and the characters.* I am getting a decent word count, though. Now if only they made sense.

So, maybe I can get back to better blogging when November is over, something with more content than I’ve managed lately. For now, with the holiday tomorrow, I’ll keep it simple.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving, and a safe and traffic jam free one.




*The rules say that the NaNovel has to be started Nov. 1st, and I didn’t really have anything not yet started that I really wanted to do. In case you were wondering why I was working on something that I don’t seem to like very much.

Working on something you don't like?

Why do the words SOSLand, CQ, and CIS suddenly pop into my head?

Congratulations on hitting your word count. Who's bidding for the movie rights?
