Happy Veteran's Day!

Happy Vet's Day to all vets out there! Thanks for saving our country time and time again, thanks for all you do!

I happen to have a passel of family members that are currently enlisted or were. So, this day has some nice importance here.

So I've written nothing, which shouldn't be a surprise to any of you. I realize how sad that sounds. NaNoWrimo is a bust this year, I think. One thing after another lately. I'll just have to write a bit at the end to win a bet and get a complimentary foot rub. :) Honestly, with how much else is going on and how busy I am, I don't even feel bad about not doing - it's not like I'm being lazy, or have nothing else going on. Of course, I do recognize that to succeed at anything like writing and being an author, you have to make time in your busy schedule. I know. I guess my problem is just not being empassioned about any tale that absolutely needs to be told. Ultimatum is kind of at a standstill in my head, so I'm not feeling any need to get back to it right away. We are going to have to see how well this path is going to travel.

I had to get four new tires this weekend, partly why I had no time to write. My savings are going dowwwwnnn.... How sad.... Also two birthdays and a holiday. More dooowwwnnn.... I kind of had an extended holiday - I attended one class on Monday! And that was only for a test. But, I bought a cheap movie about a mouse, Mouse Hunt, and an African Sounds cd - I like it quite a bit and am enjoying my purchases. :)

I got a comment, just now - or at least some time today, on a post back in July. This came as a shock to me. Pllleeeaaassseee comment again and tell me more - what exactly of that post did people need to read??? Was it about my story?? Or was I supposed to follow a link??? And why the heck did you read all the way back to July? I know I don't have a lot of posts, but wow. Please talk to meeee!!!

And that is all. I am busy being engrossed in Trickster's Queen, by Tamora Piece. I put of reading this duo of books by her since I'm not too keen on moving through generations of characters, but I have ended up really liking this series. Her main character is a spy, and it is interesting to see just how far her web is spreading. I only wish she had made the series longer, and extended all that is happening. She could have gone into so much more detail, especially with all the information and spies and networks! Unfortunately, I am able to predict where most of this is going. A tad bothersome, but the book is good. I do so love Tamora Pierce. :)
