Did I mention that both my sisters are coming out to Hawaii in October to help me celebrate (or commiserate) turning 50? How totally awesome is that!! I'm thoroughly psyched to see them, and thrilled they're both gonna be here at the same time.
Plus, how great to have a captive (and kindly inclined, but not likely to hold any punches) "first readers" audience. So there's an incentive for ya: how great would it be to have a complete, readable -- though unlikely to be polished -- draft to give them while they're here?! Both are avid readers: one closely shares my taste in fiction, and the other is also an aspiring novelist.
Arrival date is now slightly less than five months away... I'd better get writing!

No whining!
Holy Moly! It's been more than a month since I posted here (?!?) ... how'd that happen so fast?
I'm not up on the details, but there's something going on with the Mayan calendar about time speeding up, getting faster and faster the closer we get to a major shift in consciousness or reality or something like that in 2012.
Sure seems that way to me, these days. I'm kinda curious about this whole Mayan/timeshift thing, but have been resisting exploration of the details -- which are readily available as my husband is into it and all I'd have to do is ask him (or read one of several books he's got on the topic).
Clearly there's a big part of me that prefers to go on pretending I have all the time in the world to get things done. So far, that part is firmly in the driver's seat of my daily life.
Novelling hasn't had much attention lately, but I've been moving ahead with reinventing the opening of the book (this draft, anyway). Feels like a big improvement. Still tons to do, of both the invention and revision kind, but the clearer I get about how to start the thing, the more the rest of the vision falls into place.
I did make one clear decision last month: I am not going to let this blog turn into a whine fest about how much writing I am not getting done. So, I'm only gonna post when I have something positive to say. Fingers crossed that turns out to mean more frequent updates!
