Today I read the Second Encouraging Email from the NaNoWriMo people. It seems that we are supposed to be thinking about plot more than character at this point, which is quite messy and depressing . . . so let's talk about something else.
Like how it feels when one of your dearest friends comes for a visit, and you allow yourself to do almost no housecleaning and almost no cooking and almost no sleeping and almost no writing just so you can talk.
If you don't grieve for too long at the end of the visit, you may find that you have enough energy to wash up all those dishes, scrub the bathroom sink, go blueberry picking with five-kids-and-two-moms AND write 1,000 words or so.
Plus, you might decide to go English Country Dancing with your husband as a way to celebrate your 44th birthday.
Then, if you have lived a VERY good life, you just might get the whole house to yourself for a week while your family goes to visit someone else's relatives on Monday.
Peace out!
