Time Off.

I took some glorious time off from the Internet last week. I read. A lot. I got completely sucked into the world of each of the four books. It's been awhile since I've read that deeply; I've always been reading, but haven't been engrossed in a book for quite some time.

I spent time with family. Unfortunately, a lot of that time was driving, but I got to see my favorite brother and favorite sister-in-law. I got to spend time with my favorite nephew. I got to be in the sunshine and warmth for Thanksgiving, further confusing my already-screwed-up mind in the aspect of time passage.

I was only on the computer when a) doing freelance work for my old company and b) writing. I finished my story collection for NaNoWriMo on the 25th of November, coming in at 50,928 words. There's some decent stuff there, and I might submit some stories once I edit them, but I doubt I'll ever do anything with it as a collection.

I finally jumped into a project I'm incredibly excited about. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but didn't know where to start. The perfect opportunity kind of just fell into my lap, and those I've spoken with are equally happy to have me on board. I don't want to give away much right now, but I can't wait to get it in motion. I've been plotting for too long, and now I'm thrilled that I'm on the right track to do something that I could be content to do, well… forever.
