I have finally gotten to the point in my novel where my characters are surprising me. I did throw them into an impossible situation. They acted just like you might expect for a while. Not now. I’m not sure what hardship they should endure next. Death? Disease? Near Death? Surprise visitors? This time I have gotten attached to my characters. Death seems like too much.

I have this nifty shirt from the NaNoWriMo shop. Since you may not be able to see the words on the sign. It says, “An Idyllic Writers Retreat Smack-Dab in the Middle of Your Crazy Life”.
