November 30th
Let me start by saying Happy Birthday to Lucy Maud Montgomery. I will be forever grateful to you for writing Anne of Green Gables.
The last time I wrote was on the second of November. Here
It was about how excited I was for NaNoWriMo. Unfortunately, I didn't win. I barely made a dent on my word count.
I waited longer than I had planned for my laptop to be fixed and returned. It came on the 16th of November.
I did start writing quickly, but it kind of fizzled out. I've been working on other projects, and because it was late in the month, I basically had to choose one over the other. This month has seemed really hectic and busy, and I think if I had been able to start my 50,000 words on the first day, and go from there, I would have been able to finish.
I regret procrastinating. I should have sent my laptop in to be fixed months ago, and because of that I delayed my favourite writing month.
Writing is healing, and I should have done more of that. I should always do more of it.
As you may have noticed, I also didn't blog. I will hopefully be making up for that in December.
Although I regret not being able to start my novel on time, and not being able to finish 50,000 words, there are positives to my short NaNoWriMo 2015 experience.

As always,

- I was inspired.
- I started writing a different story with different characters.
- Although I won't finish it right away, I know I will. I need to finish editing the first one, finish writing the second one - AND THEN I will get to my new one. It's looking like I write in the same way I read books.
Basically, I know things will be good. I know that next year in November, I will be ready. I may have more on my plate, but at least I'll have a working laptop. (I hope.)
Also - by this time next year - I plan to have resubmitted my first novel to a new publisher, and to be done my second. No pressure or anything, but it's time. It's time (again) to work towards my dream.
In other news, Clint is away at work (for two weeks now), and will be gone until December is half way through, so Drogo and I have gotten a lot of bonding time.
We're doing well, but I do hate leaving him during the day.
Basically, he's been part of what's keeping me busy this month. Here are some pictures to end my post.
I will be blogging more next month. I promise!

He can get on the bed by himself, but prefers when I help him.
