National Write a Novel in Month Challenge

Well, I've committed to try this challenge again. Not the full challenge-- too much to do, but at least 500 words a day. That's nearly 15,000 words. that's a bunch. But, I've started out well. I've written 1,300 new words this evening. A short memoir of a scene in my childhood. I think I will see how many of these scenes I can produce this month. At one a day, that's almost novella length, or a short e-book I could self-publish? Maybe. I'll have to see.

Stay tuned!

Geneology Finds

As we get older, we seem to be more and more interested in family geneology and finding family we didn't know we had. My sister has turned into the family ancestry sleuth. She's found lots of intersted people, including a half-brother her hubby didn't know he had.

That's a real surprise, especially when you're both retirement age. We are finding my hubby's cousins that he's never met. We're swapping photos and family stories and finding that some of the family legends he learned as a child may not be true at all.

Be careful when you shake the geneology tree. You never know what may come down on your head.
