I just sent these people out for a night on the town. Sorry about that, world.

And now I’m a cheater
You might have noticed the enormous jump on my NaNoWriMo ticker today. It’s because I cheated. It was either cheat or quit. And I know that cheaters never win, but neither do quitters. So, really, I wasn’t going to win either way. But this way I’ll at least get a nifty little badge that says I won. And that’s all that really matters.
But is it really cheating? You decide.
My characters are reciting Samuel Taylor Coleridge poems. They’re on a road trip, and that’s what everybody does on road trips. It was a perfectly natural progression. Right?
Friends
1. We had dinner last weekend with some very nice people who had a six-month-old daughter. I was a little worried about how Poppy would relate to the baby; she hasn’t had all that much experience with children smaller than herself. But she was so sweet and gentle and careful. It was lovely.
2. Some of our Missouri friends are here for a visit this weekend. So we’re actually going to go out again and do things today!
