THERE! I am only 2885 words behind on NaNo now (provided I still churn out another 1667 for what is technically now today - I refuse to let myself count the backlog I churned out tonight as today's writing, it belongs to the night of the 22nd). I've been so tired and got ensnared by webcomics and didn't settle down to writing until like 11pm, and wanted to sleep at 12, but.. my scene took off on me and I clung on for the ride. ^_______^ I'm so glad. I'd expected this scene to do something lovely, but I had thought it would go rather a different way...luckily I think this means a bonus for me, as I can still tie in a scene with Meres and Carey bitching out the mortals interuppting their Phisto-time, hee. <3 But this made for a much more natural presentation of a.. I hesitate to say plot-point, because I still have no fuck clue if there's an overarching plot here, though I'd love it if one showed up. But it's something that knits things more closely together, which is a very good thing.

Now to post the day's writing (I have found this to be INVALUABLE in keeping myself from going back in and editing when I should be plunging ahead with the story; also a good backup system for my own piece of mind), and get some freaking sleep.


...Thanksgiving was quite nice, btw. Last night we had our traditional Antes family Thanksgiving dinner of Chinese take-out, and Mel and I ordered probably far more than we should have but it was verygood. This afternoon was the more typical Thanksgiving dinner over at the Grandparents', with Mom and Matt, which was quite nice. Fantastic food, and a good bit of catching-up. I never see Matt very often, and I hadn't seen Grandpa in ages (he's been having some health issues that have kept him pretty home-bound, so it's been months since he's come along with Mom and Grandma to Fredonia), so it was really nice.

Heading back to Fredtown tomorrow morning - a bit sad I wasn't able to meet up with any of my Rochester buddies, but, I hadn't really expected much, being here scarcely more than a day, and it being, y'know, Thanksgiving. I miss Tom though, apparently he broke his email, and for whatever reason the phone there doesn't seem to be on, so all I've heard from him is a one-sentance email, which he sent to my email *from* my same email account. *giggles, shaking head* I head back in to work at 4 tomorrow, so it wasn't a very long vacation, but at least I was able to get out and away for a day or so, it's been... quite relaxing, really, I hvaen't had to think about a thing in a day and my mind is loving the break.

It occurs to me that I haven't discussed this possible newspaper job here at all, but I'm so not up for it right now, I've been able to ignore it for a bit and it's far more of a relief than I'd expected. Anyway I don't really have anything solid to give anyone, except that I hvae the most amazing bosses in the world and that the Fredonia/Silver Creek Pennysaver is THE most disorganized situation I have ever in my life seen.

SLEEP!
