So much has happened this week, thousands of acres burned, hundreds of head of livestock lost, 23 homes reduced to ash but miraculously No One Died! It only takes a moment to change things forever. Appreciate those you have close to your heart, whether they are in the next room or thousands of miles away. Be grateful for the time we are given.

Also this week, there is a Wattpad-Twitter-FB group a bunch of us writers started called SayNoToAbuse SayNoToAbuse . Writers with a mission to help encourage and support those who suffered physical and sexual abuse and encourage awareness. Sex Assaults and Domestic Violence only seem like a victimless crimes or a less prolific types of crime because many victims are silent. They are ignored, they are shamed, they are blamed. THIS IS WRONG. They have survived and should be given every support. If you are one of them or you want to show your support for women (and men) who have been through this trauma, Join Us.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming... In the closing 10 days of #CampNaNoWriMO, how are you doing? How is the Editing going? Did you manage 30 shorts in 30 day? 

Several people have reported being discourage until it was pointed out that they had 600, 800, or 1000 words a day. Writing only once a week still counts, Writing on more than work COUNTS! You are a real writer the moment you put pen to paper and dream beyond...
