Monday Check In

Last week:

Writing Related: I think I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to unofficially participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) this year. The object is to write 50,000 words (approximately 200 pages) in the month of November. To be on track I should have about 39 pages written (not including today) by now. I had a crazy hectic week last week so I only managed to get 20 pages done. I'm hoping to pick up the extra pages I'm behind as I go along so that by November 30th, I will have those 200 pages done.

What I'm Reading: I'm currently reading Surrendering to Hunt by Jennifer Ryan. This is the second book in the Wyoming Wilde series. While I'm enjoying the book, I feel like there should be a trigger warning either in the front of the book or in the blurb because it does deal heavily with domestic abuse.

Random Things: I can't believe we have less than 2 months left in this year. I guess what my mom always says is true - The older you get, the faster the years go by.

Writing Related: I wrote the first chapter of Mississippi's story and did research on small planes and the 100 Mile Wilderness Trail in Maine. Both of these will play a major part in the book.

What I'm Reading:  I'm currently reading Chase Wilde Comes Home by Jennifer Ryan. It's the first book in the Wyoming Wilde series. I'm only a few chapters into the book, but I'm liking it so much that I've already checked to see if my local library has the second book in the series, Surrendering To Hunt.

Random Things:  It's going to be a beautiful sunny day in the low 70's. It's supposed to about the same throughout the week until Friday where it's still supposed to be sunny but a bit cooler in the low 60's. The meteorologist on our local TV station is calling it our Indian Summer. We haven't had a hard frost yet which usually occurs before Indian Summer so I'm really hoping it's not. That usually happens in Mid-November. If it is occurring this early, I'm thinking we're going to be in for a rough winter.
