I did not even get the 40,515 words as I have indicated in the top right of this page for National Novel Writing Month. I thought I had. But in the last two days of NaNoWriMo, I decided to scan my 40,000 plus words to look for insight into writing the last 10,000. Guess what? I'd cut and pasted almost SEVEN THOUSAND words from my thumb-drive twice. Holy Smokes! That means I'd only written about 34,000 words. 16,000 to go. Oh no.
Wanna know what I really thought? Good. I can quit now. I'd pretty much stopped writing anything readable a week ago. I was glad to give up. There's always next year! I felt free and danced away from my computer life with glee. I abandoned the blog and email for real life, but now I'm back. It's scary out there.
Out there you get the flu. I've got the flu. I don't know if it's H1n1, but I do know it's horribly immobilizing. But it's on its way out, I removed the bucket by my bed this morning and today, I'm sitting here in the upright position which is promising.
Hang on a minute. Can't breathe. Can't see. Must relocate.
Sorry about that. No, it's not the flu. I had to move into the sunroom. Judge, in his snoozefest, just vaporized the living room with some sort of doggie stink bomb that singed my eyebrows. Strangely quiet. (forgive me, I couldn't help it.)
So I'm going to bed.

Good to see you back at your blog. I didn't even attempt to write 50,000 words last month. I knew I couldn't with two weeks in November back in the US.
Of topic...is Judge a French bulldog? My daughter thinks that breed would be perfect for me. The only breed I've ever had was a mixed breed from an animal shelter, but yours is pretty cute.
I meant to say "off" topic in the comment above. I clearly could use more sleep.
Sometimes you can fit 50,000 words in just 2...carpe diem. :)
Hey there GotJourney!..Judge is a Boston Terrier. Best dog I've ever had, but I bet French Bulldogs are cool.
Pamela Kay of the Milky Way saves the day! Thanks, girlie.
Rest and get well, Laura. While you are missed, I think quiet is good while you are working on getting well !
Off you go to get cozy !
Judge is so sweet. Completely healed?
Thanks, Kim...maybe I'll take some advice from your special rocks!
Elspeth, Judge is doing great! Not perfect but he's coming along and that's the best I can hope for. I should do a Judge status post. Thanks for asking.
Rest and get better! Lots of fluids, don't forget.
