I've been keeping abreast of your adventures, mister, and I don't know how you have the energy to work so hard! I hope that you are okay, too, and that you get to relax a little sometime (although it doesn't sound like it!)
I saw that you were traveling all over and working like a mad demon, fixing up your house, writing on the side and STILL thinking of participating in NaNo. You are one crazy man!!! Bottle that energy and send me some, will you? How do you do what you do, mister?
Update: I have spent the last year grieving (lots), travelling (not enough), still not writing (that may not return), working (too much) and building a new house.
I've gone through two very different periods of grief. In the first, I lost the ability to read, which was pretty shocking to me, since I had been an avid lifelong reader. I'm talking a habit of 3 books a week. It actually took me awhile to connect it to the fact that I was grieving, or that it was something that was not coming back for awhile. I'm still not the reader I was. When I was grieving the second time, I couldn't seem to stop writing about it, which was a little embarrassing since I pride myself on being a pretty private person. What I learned from that whole thing is that (for me) I guess that it's a completely demolishing, unexpected, uncontrollable process that just knocks you off your feet and however you get through it, as long as you get through it on your feet by the end, that's all that matters. I can't tell you how much you have my sincerest sympathy for what you're going through and I wish you speedy healing as you find your new footing

Aw, thank you! I did have a good time--I am a big fan of Shakespeare, and it is a rare treat for me to get out and do something fun. I'm surprised that you were also in ON; you had to have taken a plane, that's a long way from home for you. Were you there for a conference?

Eleven acceptances! I'm impressed, to be honest. That's a lot!

(I just back from ON, too, but my trip was less fantastic than yours, I fear...)
Congrats on the job. That's wonderful. And 11 acceptances? Sounds pretty good to me, lady.
