Just a quick status update, to let you know what I've been doing, and why I've not been posting here...

A month ago, I began work on my novel.  It's been an on-again, off-again affair... kind of.  Ironically, the average word count per day has been almost exactly 1667.  In other words, while I've been writing a lot slower than in November, I actually have been writing by the recommended, NaNoWriMo guidelines.  I just passed 50,000 words tonight, and I'm at the halfway point for the novel.  It was originally going to be only 21 chapters, but I kept realizing that I needed to add scenes, and that bumped it up to what's now a projected 26 chapters.  Certain characters became a lot more important than I intended, from my original outline.  With luck, I'll have that finished before I go to Cape Cod this year.

I'm back to running my own D&D campaign, after Dara's short takeover for a filler game, and that's taken up some of my time, alas.  Coupled with the fact that I'm going to resume my Dark Sun campaign as well, sometime this month... yeah.  Planning for those two things has dug into my free time.

Lastly, I've gotten back into WH40K.  Six months ago or so, I said that I was tired of it, and I was tired of the crowd that I gamed with.  About a month ago, I bit the bullet and went back.  I've sunk so many thousands of dollars into my collection that it would be a shame for it to go to waste.  I've done surprisingly well; I've actually got a winning record, now, where I used to have a record that put [insert very bad sports team here] to shame.  I'm going to try to not let it go to my head, because pride comes before the fall, but I'm grateful that I'm not losing spectacularly, again.
