Okay, there was a little more progress than I expected there to be this past week, considering there were more interruptions than I was originally aware of.
Besides the Thanksgiving holiday, I welcomed a new niece into the world!
Both mother and child are doing fine.
On the writing front, have finished going over Chapter 10 of ALPHA, BOOK 2: WAYWARD SON; and my friendly neighborhood beta/proofreader has Chapter 11, but the new grandmother is now fighting a cold, so I'm not sure when she will be getting to it.
Meanwhile, I am in the transition scene between Chapters 13 and 14.
As for Thanksgiving itself, had a lovely time with friends and family. Even chatted long distance with some kin back where I originally hailed from too.
Christmas shopping is far from done, but as I said in my Free Choice E-zine editorial, I refused to go out any of the "Black Friday" period because opening a store at SIX PM on Thanksgiving night was just plain ridiculous in my humble opinion.
I DID patronize some local establishments yesterday on "Small Business Saturday", and will probably do some shopping tomorrow on "Cyber Monday", but I refuse to go to any establishment that puts profits before people on a family holiday.
Your mileage/opinions may vary.
SOME DARE BRAVE THE GLOOM OF BLACKEST NIGHT, QUESTING FOR BARGAINS UPON THEIR TREK,
HITTING EVERY SALE BEFORE DAYLIGHT.
ME? I PLANNED WELL AHEAD.
NO NERVES, CREDIT, OR CAR SUFFERED WRECK.
JUST RESTFUL SLUMBER WITHIN MY OWN BED.
Well, back to writing now.
See you around the Internet!
