What a month it's been. I've laughed, I've cried. ;-) This month I've gone through job interviews, and signed up with a temp company. I had my 25th birthday on the 18th. And let me tell you, it was the best birthday I've had in YEARS. I got to spend it with my best friend and my family. We had a great time! I've done some shopping this month, and that felt really good. I have some great new digs. I've been writing away on Savage Eden for the Jan/Feb 2004 Writing Dare at FM. I'm participating at the novice level, so I've managed to squeeze it in amongst my comings and goings. Yesterday I managed two write two chapters for a total of 2,337 words. For me, that's fantastic. I've also been working steadily on my 'Only a Novel' course novel. I've put together a notebook, and I'm getting ready to do some serious work on my characters.
The biggest thing that's happened to me this month is -- my best friend has moved to Virginia from Tennessee, and is staying with me at my parents house until he can find a job and a place of his own. He's been here a couple of weeks, and we're doing pretty well. Normally I get bored easily, and was worried I'd get sick of him. But he's been pleasant to have around, and I've enjoyed the time we've had together. My parents enjoy him as well.
