Nano And Sixteen

Nano month has been great so far but I am so mentally tired. I've written almost 20,000 words in 5 days. I keep the thought of the revising that has to happen at bay because writing is such fun. I put a small excerpt of my writing in my last blog and I probably will again before the month's over. For those of you who don't know what's going on, go to nanowrimo.org and check it out. You can find me there at pacali or search the author list for my name. It shows my word count and if you bookmark it you can keep track of where I'm at every day. This weekend is a weekend off for me, though, so there will be no changes in the writing status. CG1 has his 16th birthday and I have a party to throw for family. He's pretty excited about it. After all, it isn't every year you turn 16. It's the first really big milestone in autonomy for anyone. He'll begin practicing parallel parking soon and after the license is gotten, he'll be begging to go to the store for me every time I turn around. That's how I was. God that seems such a long time ago. Happy Birthday Tanner.
