NaNoWriMo!

National Novel Writing Month, a.k.a. NaNoWriMo! I'm doing it - are you? Yes, I'm out of town the first few days of November (school visits in Denver), but I've already got a few words down, so I'll claim those. My project? BLESSING JONES:

Blessing's family is falling apart, despite what her parents say. She knows the road trip to stay with family for the summer is more than just a visit. Why else would her mother be driving Blessing and her brother from California, across the country (in an old, used limo loaded with all their stuff in it) to stay with family Blessing has never met, during an oil spill when most people are heading away from the Gulf of Mexico and Mobile Bay?

Let's see how we do!
