You can take the title of this blog post two ways . . . the "new year" is speeding along. And I've done a lot of Zoom events, as an author. And for regular meetings of the various nonprofit organizations I serve.
Since the prior post, I was extremely busy with events related to The Limits of Limelight. I enjoyed the holiday season--we even managed to host a very downsized and extremely safe and highly festive version of our annual Caroling Party. After not having it last year, this felt like a major achievement . . . there was snow on the ground, and Dot the dog tagged along.
I successfully completed National Novel Writing Month, writing 50,000 words in 30 days. I usually enter every other year.
I've finished writing a novel--that's another achievement--set in 17th century France, in areas familiar to me, with a connection to a story and characters that have long obsessed me.
