Here we are on the last day of November. For those tired souls who participated in National Novel Writing Month – congratulations! It’s over! I did not participate this year, but instead set the goal of revising my completed manuscript for publication. I am not sure what happened to my time this month, but I’m sorry to say that I barely even made a dent in the job. Besides the introductory section I posted recently, I have accomplished absolutely nothing!
Nevertheless, I am still going to attempt to finish so as to publish before the year is out. If it seems a little quiet around here, you’ll know why. I’ll be in the subterranean lair, feverishly editing away…

What a great title and lovely writing environment 🙂

Thanks, Alex! It’s a work in progress… I needed an art space as well as a writing area!

Time flies, doesn’t it? I always overestimate the ratio of time vs to-do list. 30 hours of stuff just doesn’t fit into a 24 hour day. 😏

I don’t know, Doc. I really don’t. But the beauty of it is that the older I get the less I give a shit it gets done today, tomorrow, or next week. 😃

Well that’s true for me too. Maybe we’re mellowing with age!

Hahaha! I can roll with that mindset. Mellow is good. Far less stressful. And stress ain’t worth the effort! 😃

Me too. I hate to say it’s probably age. I think we get tired doing so much stuff over the years.

We may be mellowing with age, but fact remains what we used to be able to do in a short space of time almost always takes longer in reality. John Lennon said it best “Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans”.

No, it’s great actually! I made some room in the office for the art space and the writing space so I wasn’t cluttering up my limited living space! 😀

What a lovely work space!
I did not enter NaNoWriMo this year either. I was hoping to revise a novel, but even that wasn’t going to happen. So I set a goal to finish a novelette, but that was not going to work, either. I decided to cut myself some slack and not set a writing goal. I dropped into my NaNo site to check in on and encourage my Writing Buddies instead. Tonight I wrote the final Words in the Dark post of Nov. 2017, with NaNo wrapping up for another year.

That’s great! I should have set myself a smaller goal. The further into November I got without having made any significant progress made me throw up my hands in defeat! And then I got nothing done at all! My new goal is to revise a chapter a day. I think that’s doable and it doesn’t put me on a dated deadline. 😜
