Well, that was intense.
Everyone is always busy. That’s our default, right? But did you ever have one of those months that was crazy-busy on steroids?
In November we decided to remodel our home (while living in it), doing the demolition ourselves to save money. Here’s the catch: it had to be completed within three weeks because my brother was coming for Thanksgiving and it’s hard to offer turkey with a side dish of drywall dust.
During these same three weeks, I flew to Colorado for a writing conference led by Jerry Jenkins (New York Times bestselling writer behind the Left Behind and The Chosen books),

had three suspicious moles biopsied (I’m fine – but had stitches), performed with my husband in a murder mystery dinner show (I was the killer, but everyone blamed him! Ha!),

celebrated both Thanksgiving and Christmas with my brother, Dennis, before he flew home,

and then, because that wasn’t enough, I decided to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) where I committed to completing a 50,000-word manuscript.
