I had a successful NaNo, I think. I made a good start at getting some business stuff done and I've mapped out what I want to do for next year. Of course, I actually have to do it, but at least it's down in writing about "work on this in 2018".
I also started a new book. My goal, perhaps foolish, is to finish it by Dec. 31. I think that's doable, but we'll see. It's one of my Remembered Classics and I have the basics all blocked out -- characters, location, and a few key scenes and high/low points. I just need to sit down and write it.
I had some distractions: emergency surgery for the Spousal Unit. He came through with flying colors, but that was still a drain of time and energy. Then I had an emergency up come (vision problem that had me pretty freaked out for a time). That appears to be under control now, so I should be able to focus on the writing.
This is my last post for the year (I don't participate in the story party in December). So here's wishing you a happy holiday season, a happy new year, and here's to 2018 --full steam ahead!

Happy holidays and a happy new year to you and yours too, JL. Glad the emergencies went well, as emergencies go, you know.
I have faith in you, JL, I bet you finish the book. Sorry about yours and SU's health issues, glad everything is good now. Happy holiday season to you too!
JL, I would be surprised to see you WITHOUT a full head of steam...ahead! You are our Energizer Bunny, and we toddle behind you blinking our eyes like frogs in a hailstorm. That being said, I just read your RESORTS, REGRETS AND RETURNING. Enjoyed it very much...I'll put up a review soon! I'm on deadline with FIRE IS NICE...must turn in to my editor Dec. 1! Mush on, everyone!
Rolynn and Alicia took the words out of my...head! Congratulations for completing your NaNo month as you wanted, and thank goodness the health scares turned out okay. I'm sure you'll finish your current project by Dec. 31. I'm mushing on behind you...much more slowly, but mushing nonetheless! Happy holidays!
Good for you keeping it going in spite of the rather large bumps in the road, JL.
Good for you on reaching so many goals during NaNo. As for finishing a book by Dec. 31st, I'm sure you'll do it. You are so focused. Best wishes and happy holidays.
Of course you couldn't not write! I'm glad your husband is on the mend. Best of luck with 2018!
