December 1

Well, I finished Nanowrimo with a somewhat impressive 33,000 words. Clearly I would have finished had it not been for the November 20th obstacle of my sister in law going into a coma. It took me a while to start writing again after that, understandably, and I am happy to say that I am now working regularly on the novel again, even if it's no longer as a part of this challenge. And I also must put the novel in 2nd priority behind my job search, since it has now been three months. Today I begin a new counteroffensive, or perhaps even a new campaign. All or nothing. Burning desire. Make it happen. My goal is 100 applications by the end of the month. And whatever networking I am able to do as well. I'm very worried. Ash and I both woke up this morning at 5:30 and had trouble returning to sleep. I hate it when that happens.
