oh yes - houses

I forgot to mention that we're in the process of buying a home. The sellers have accepted our offer and our loan application is in (though we need to update some documents), so we're just getting our taxes in order and gathering as much money as we can for the down payment. We've been through the house three times and are absolutely in love with it. I can't wait. I really hope that we get it. :)

Also, interesting changes may be happening here at work that will give me a lot more time at home... and you know what that means! WRITING!

Oh, and possibly kids, too. ;) We'll see.

sixteen

I went through all of the ideas I have for novels, and found out that there are sixteen of them. Granted, two are co-written and one is a glorified picture book, but still. :) I have plenty of material, I just need to be dedicating enough time every day to get them done.

My goal this year is to have three novels under my belt. I have one written, one being written, and one in the planning stages. So I've gotta revise, finish writing, and start writing them. I'm sure that #3 will be a NaNo, so I just need to focus on revisions for #1 and writing #2 for now. Should be good, should be good.

I was recently told that Carol knows an agent who is looking for the kind of stuff that I write, so this is good motivation. Ee!

I'm 12,000+ words into HP, which is roughly 1/4th the way through, and there's about 9 months until November. Should be easy. If I can get motivated!

Only the cookies understand. :(
