Goal Met!


I'm another step closer to querying. Got the edits finished on Book #4 and only have to read it through to make sure it all makes sense before I hand it off to some readers. I said I'd finish it by Thanksgiving and by gosh, I did!

**Happy Dance**

Now I can take a break and actually clean the family room. You think I'm joking? Well, I'm not taking pictures to prove my point. That would be too embarrassing. Well, maybe I WILL take pictures, if only for my own reference. If I think I've done an awesome job, then I'll post before and after pics. But don't hold your breath.

But really, this place is a mess. I have no place to put the Christmas tree right now. And there's too much stuff (junk) in front of the fireplace, making it useless.

Of course not all this mess is mine. Half belongs to the husband. I think I'll put all his stuff in a box and let him go through it. What do you think? Sound like a plan? I think so!

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? Got any plans for Black Friday? I have to cook this year (bummer), and the only thing I'm doing on Friday is going to the movies, like we do every year. Right now "Red Dawn" seems to be the likely choice for our family tradition. I wish the reviews were more promising, but hey, it's got Chris Hemsworth. Can't be all bad!

LOL - if your husband is like mine, that box will be sitting in the same place you put it, five years from now.

Friday, I'll probably be working on my Nano novel because I plan to win!

CONGRATS on meeting your goal!

I'm thinking about going out Black Friday, but my hubby will think I'm nuts if I do. LOL

Big congrats on meeting your goal and Happy Cleaning.

Jennette - Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he never went through the box. Good luck on your NaNo project!

Jennifer - I've done the shopping a couple of times. It's really not worth it (to me). There are some crazy people out there! Good luck if you decide to brave the crowds.

Ivy - Happy Cleaning? Well, I guess. Not really looking forward to it, but it sure needs it!

Congratulations on getting there. With all sincerity, I hope you have better luck with querying than I do. Over the past year+ I've sent out perhaps 100 queries, for three different books, and gotten exactly one, "I'm intrigued; send 50 pages."

A batting average like that would make someone give up highs school baseball.

So, really, good luck.

Thanks, Michael. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one!

Congrats on meeting your goal. Enjoy your holiday! :O)

I used to make a box for his stuff, but he'd just let it sit there unless I prodded him. Instead, now as I clean, I show him the object and ask him where it goes. Eventually, after being interrupted numerous times, he gets the hint and puts his own stuff away.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had ours yesterday, so I plan to chill tomorrow and eat leftovers. :)

Diane - Thanks! I haven't seen you here before, have I? So nice of you to stop by!

Maria - I've boxed up some of his stuff. I'm hoping he goes through it tonight. Fingers crossed!
