hrjAccomplished today's tasks, which were to dispose of mom's prescription medicines in an Approved Fashion and to take the results of the clothing sorting-out to the local homeless shelter.
I also successfully completed "International Write Something (Dammit) Month" (affectionately known as IWriSloMo) in that I have written new verbiage on my current fiction project (the alternate-history lesbian Ruritanian regency romance tentatively entitled "Daughter of Mystery") every single day in November. No matter what. And believe me, this has been a month to test the resolve. The novel is now at a little over 38K words (only 13K of which were written this month) and has a complete first draft of Part I of V. "First draft" in this case, however, means that I need to go back and fill in a lot of the descriptive parts (since they're the part that stick in my head without needing to be written down -- it's the conversation and basic events that start fading away if they aren't written), I need to come up with proper names for my characters and locations, and I need to do some more in-depth world-building on the parts of the story that diverge from our own world and history. But it's a nice place to finish the month, story-wise.
Tomorrow morning I fly back home. Then the December whirlwind begins.
