I finally made 30,000 words. And since I’m not doing anything today, maybe I can crank out a bunch more. I got an email from Nano claiming you could get 10,000 done in a good weekend. Yeah, right. Now that I’m more aware of some of the ways to use a sentence, it’s slowing me down. And I know that you’re supposed to just throw everything out there and worry about the details later but when I read it the next morning I have to play with it. I like to play with it, that’s the best part. Well, it’s all good.
My two older girls went out drinking last night. I hope they liked each other. They were so close when they were younger. Twenty months apart and different as night and day. They used to be inseparable but they have gone in such different directions. Their differences make them resent each other. They didn’t used to compete. And it’s such a shame that they can’t help each other. As they get a better glimpse of who they are and how their childhood has “fucked them up,” they could help each other find their way. But no. They are too busy acting like they’ve really got it together. It’s killing me not to tell the one about the other.
Back to writing. Enjoy your turkey everyone and your family, too.

I want to congratulate you on your 30,000.
It is a pity your daughters, though closer in age, are not so close in relationship. But their going out together is a hopeful sign. Sometimes relations change over time. I am sure there will be improvement in their relationship.
There’s a nice letter from Chris, too, when you load your word count! Funny, too!
Wasn’t that email hilarious? lol
Much Peace and Love…and, yes, I just got mine now! Turkey, that is. My dad surprised me and brought it over…and left a huge turkey carcass in the yard for my dog! lol

Sounds like my two. Last Thanksgiving one of them offended the other, who has still not forgiven. So this year we weren’t able to be all together. They are adults now, so I’m leaving it to them to mend the rift. I just hope they do before they find themselves in one of those life crises where they might really need each other. Hugs to you on Thanksgiving.
Interesting to be able to see how it really is and not be able to say
