About 2/3 of a novel written in November for NaNoWriMo (probably should finish that one of these days, eh?)

A year ago I started this to force myself to be writing, be engaged, be creative, and not sit around staring at the walls sending our one resume (to be ignored) after another. A quarter of a million words written and over a thousand pictures shared later, I’m feeling like this hasn’t been a bad year, at least as far as my writing and blogging go. (Still looking for that job,which sucks…)

I want to thank everyone who reads what I rant about, enjoys the pictures, and comments when the spirit moves them. (The more the merrier!) I appreciate the folks who found me early and have stuck with my learning curve, and I appreciate the folks who have just stumbled on this site and are checking to see if I can write my way out of a paper bag. (I can, but only if the bag is slightly moistened first.)

I hope you’ll all stick around as I start ranting, photographing, traveling, writing, and blatherationing into our second year. I’m having fun, I hope you are as well.
