Oh dear.<br/><br/>*Sauntering Soul, if it's meant to happen it will. Have you given names to your boxes?

One part of the book, at least, requires a lot of research that I haven't done, so I'm not even touching writing that yet. All in all, yes, I'm pretty happy. I *never* would've gotten that much written in this period of time without NaNo!<br/><br/>*Robin, wouldn't it be just lovely?!<br/><br/>*Zandria, I'm glad you bookmarked! I hope you enjoy :)<br/><br/>*Odessa, one good thing is that I've been here 4 years already so the village doesn't hold as many new discoveries as it used to, but there are still plenty of walks (the dogs have to go out of course!). *Stefanie, blog share was truly amazing; perhaps I’ll give it a go next time.
