So, this year I managed to complete NaNoWriMo for the first time ever! It was a delightful moment when I uploaded my work and got my badge. Of course, the story is far from finished, but it is taking shape nicely. It also is a new genre for me, so I am feeling the delights of stretching my wings a bit. More on that later.
Christmas was quite busy, with a hurried trip to visit family out of state. I also had the chance to meet a friend at my favorite used-bookstore, the Flagship location of Half Price Books, and take advantage of the after-Christmas sale. I found two boxes of books, many of which are vintage novels, and some of those with the original dust jackets. I have to add about fifteen of them to Goodreads' database on my own, so that gives you a sense of how rare they are. And, of course, I have already read several of them. This week's gem from the box was "A Daughter of Fife" by Amelia Huddleston Barr.

Last week I attended the state Evangelism conference and heard some fabulous preaching. I intend to share some notes on what I've heard in the next few weeks. It does my heart good to see pastors going down to the altar and praying!!
