Reading/Writing Journal

Reading....
I anticipate being able to do more of this now that I have a job that allows me to read while I'm working.  (I'm a personal care companion for the elderly, so I can read after they've gone to bed, so long as I'm attentive to their needs.)

Writing....
Was over a week behind on NaNo, due to this. 
Have made significant progress.  Still haven't hit any of my word count goals, though. 
My next one is for 30k by EOD tomorrow, which I probably won't hit.  I'm only at 21k.  Thanks to Friday, I know I can write 11k in a day (much to the displeasure of my wrists), but....I have to work from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. tonight and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow, then go straight to the temple.
After which I will come home and promptly go to bed.  Yoishka.

Reading/Writing Journal

I kinda got burned out on reading. I've had bookmarks in "Temples from on High" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin" for...oh,....probably at least a month now. I'm a little more than half way through the latter and not quite half way through the former. I was hoping to be in Cather and have finished a reread of Card so I can go see Ender's Game in the theater.

I'm trying my hands at NaNoWriMo again this year. I was going to do literary fiction with a story about multigenerational   friendships built on common faith. But then life issues crowded my brain. Including writing a ten minute extemporaneous speech to be given this Sunday in front of about 1500 people.

So I set aside the litfic in favor of YA, which may or may not prove semi autobiographical, with an extra shot of Lizzie Bennett into the main character, Shelby.

I'm super far behind at 1,367.
