Day 16 - 14 days remaining


I'm sorry I wrote such a long letter.
I did not have the time to write a short one.

— Abraham Lincoln

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are the tortoises of the race but WE WILL DO IT!!!

My dog of 12 years died last night after a week of rapid deterioration -- *snif* -- and I am off to bury her but I am channeling that loss into productivity and hope to be caught up by NEXT weekend -- Thanksgiving when my mom does all the housework/cooking.

KEEP GOING!!!

This is my first NaNo but I have had this story on the back burner for about two years now and really want to do something with it.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog :( Internet hugs, if you would like them. I hope she's happily chasing her favourite things somewhere.

Thank you!

She had a wonderful life and spent her last day at the barn in the sunshine smelling the horses. She passed very peacefully at home but I still cried like a baby. It's like losing a child. :(

I'm so sorry to hear your very sad news. If it helps, by all means write. Finish your story. But please be kind to yourself and give yourself time. It will be fine.
