Danielle, aka Hoshichan. Writer and 
The rest of my life has ground to a halt — NaNoWriMo (no, haven’t written at all), other websites… each day I set out and end up having done something unplanned, or otherwise not in line with my “priorities”. Now A-chan is coming up tonight instead of tomorrow, so I have to clean house tonight and try to clean up the puddles of eBay I have lying all over my office. Thursday I’ll be cooking. (Oh Lord, I have to thaw out the turkey when I get home. Yipe.)
In the past few days, it seems my priorities have changed, and suddenly things that were inexplicably on hold have been released, and are rolling towards me. (I have to be vague, I feel, for the time being.) I don’t know exactly how to explain it, and it’s not that I’m totally giving up on NaNo, and certainly not on my novel, but I feel very peaceful about everything I haven’t been doing, and not so bad about the rest. Life is life, and it’s coming at me full-force, so I might as well go with it.

I know what you feel about life coming at one full-force and other priorities don’t seem to be as pressing — like Nano. Actually, I feel like “I think I should be upset I’m still only almost-7000″ but I’m…not.
(But then again I’m used to not completing Nano. Hehe.)

It really was important to me to finish NaNo this year, especially after last year’s almost-there,but-not-quite… but right now it feels far more important to work on TAFL gifts, bake goodies for my family, sell things to pay down our debt, and chat with my dad over lunch for over an hour. ^^;
