No Prompt Today’s been a busy day between work and Christmas shopping. When I sat down to write this post, I remembered I haven’t written my newsletter yet. So that’s what I did tonight instead of writing up something longer. I need to get better at my time management.

Prompt: How is this December different from last year? Let’s see. First thing that comes to mind is my four-year-old niece is old enough to participate more beyond the ‘point at present to destroy the wrapping paper’ stage. She’s got the concept now for birthdays and we’re working on transferring it to Christmas. We have

No prompt today. I’m choosing my topic. I’m doing my postmortem on NaNoWriMo. This year I wrote about 22,000 words. No, I didn’t win, but I passed my personal goal of 20,000 words. Not bad, given that I had dental surgery in the middle of the month. Out of that figure, I have about 7.300
