Well, I decided to quit the NaNoWriMo. I just got too far behind. I have to get up early in order to write and I just haven’t been able to. I hurt my back pretty badly, then I got a mean sore throat, complete with dizziness. I did not even get out of bed yesterday except to throw some chicken in a stock pot to make soup for dinner and check my e-mail.

I am still working on the novel, though, just not at the quality-be-damned NaNoWriMo pace. I think my novel deserves more care than that anyway, which might explain why I could not keep up with the 50,000/month word count. I take too much time trying to word things in just the right way, whereas, the goal in the WriMo is word count, not quality.

So, I am going to put blogging back my the list of writing priorities.

All Things Hold Together, my homeschooling/homemaking/mommy blog, is priority one because I am doing a series of Christmas posts, which are obviously time sensitive, but I have some good posts planned for this blog, too.

- One in draft details my ideal presidential candidate.
- A post, or posts, about the GOP primary candidates, and my endorsement.
- Some locally focused posts.
- Last, but not least, my reporting on the Vermont Tiger Symposium this Friday.

I am still feeling a bit under the weather, so right now I am going to go lie down and watch Journey Man online.

Man, I love technology.
