The Bears have won seven in a row, and their defense is being compared to the 1985 “Monsters of the Midway” defense that helped win the Super Bowl. I think such comparisons are a bit premature, but it’s still a lot of fun to hear. I just hope our offense can keep up.
HOWEVER–
I am not writing about the Bears today. Today is a day to celebrate …
… ME.
Why, you ask? Because (drumroll, please) I have successfully completed my 50,000 word novel for National Novel Writing Month! You will note that the icon I placed in the left-hand column has been changed from “Participant” to “Winner.”
Whoopie!!!!!
The next step is to print the whole damn thing out, stick it in a drawer and let it mellow for a month or two. Then I will take it out and read it. If I am completely embarrassed by what I find, it will go back in the drawer, never to see the light of day again. But, if I manage to remotely entertain myself, then I will break out the fine tools and begin the process of editing and rewriting.
But that is in the future. Today, we dance!
When it comes to commenting on Chris’s personal stuff on his blog (not the RPG story), I have refrained because I thought it would just be, well, weird.
BUT…
I want everyone to know how proud I am of him and his accomplishment this month. I think it’s amazing, just like him. I love you, Chris.
Hell yea!
I couldn’t have passed the mark without you! Rock!
Yay for you! That’s awesome!
I’m proud, even though I had nothing to do with it.
I would say that I’m proud, but I don’t want to seem like a sheep repeating what everyone else has already said. So suck on that!
; )
WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! Or, maybe WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! is more in order.
