Now I just have to edit it!
Well NaNo, going to see some concerts and talking to my husband about it has helped turn things around for me. I feel much happier and more like my old self. I can't believe it!

I Did It!
I have a lot to update on, but I spent November really focusing on finishing my novel for NaNo and I did it!!
Now I just have to edit it!
Winning just means that you wrote a whole novel of at least 50,000 words over the course of November. I feel really good about myself after feeling really low for a long while due to feeling like I'd lost my identity because of poor health.
Well NaNo, going to see some concerts and talking to my husband about it has helped turn things around for me. I feel much happier and more like my old self. I can't believe it!

NaNoWriMo and Skyrim
Most of my regular gaming is on hold this month as I work on completing a novel for National Novel Writing Month. When it's done this will be the fourth novel I've written, but I think it's the only one I'm going to try to publish. The other three are a combination of historical/fantasy and are too settings/plot driven to the detriment of the characters and dialogue. It's taken me a long time to write good dialogue and I'm challenging myself to write a story in a contemporary setting that is character driven. The novel is a horror novel about a metal band led by a young woman.
That said I continue to meet with table-top group to play a quick Pathfinder (a game like Dungeons and Dragons) run once a week. Completely on hold are the games I've been playing Rift, LoL, and Dragon Quest IX on my DS.
This Thursday, however, I'll be in line at my local game store waiting to pick up my copy of Skyrim! The local manager asked me to run an hour long DnD game that has the players fighting a dragon. She told me she'd set up a table and hopes to have other games running during the wait. This is a challenge, but I'm going to do it! I already know what the story will be and now I just need to tweak some rules to make it easy for people that may have never played before. I haven't GMed a game since Vampire four years ago, but I'm excited.
Skyrim is also exciting for me because I always buy and support games in which you can play as a female character.
