Magic Eye Friday, NoNaNo and finally a title for my next book!!

Hope my visitors from across the pond had a great Thanksgiving, and enjoyed/are enjoying spending time with their loved ones. Cheers to you all!!

I have to report that I've hung up my NaNo pen... but I'd like to thank everyone who gave me support and encouragement along the journey.

The reason NaNo and I have gone separate ways is because LIFE got in the way; I had overnight visitors two weekends running, and just when I planned to do my catching up, we had a family crisis. I'm happy to report the 'crisis' is out of hospital and recovering well, but I knew it was time to duck out .

I'm pleased to say I'm still furiously writing my book, so it's not a total fail. And I've finally got a name for Soul Protector #2 - it's going to be called Heads, You Lose, (which is very fitting at the moment). It's a shame I didn't 'win' NaNo, but I'm not sad. NaNo has been brilliant for clocking up the wordcount and I'll definitely be trying again next year. If you're still participating, I wish you fast fingers and a sea of imagination!

And finally, here's some Friday inspiration for anyone who might need it... Don't forget to turn up the volume ;o)




Have a great weekend!

Life does that. I'm glad your crisis is doing well. Hope you're having a wonderful long weekend.

@Christine - thank you. By the way, we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the UK, so no long weekend for us :o( Enjoy yours though... :o)

Life does tend to get in the way, but we need a little of that to keep us in touch with reality. I'm glad your crisis was resolved. I'm happy to say I'll be reading your book soon...just bought a Kindle. :) Hope you had a great weekend. :)
