Dear Puzzled Santa:

Yes, I have been buying pressies for my Santee, and yes I have been writing pomes (one of which can be found here).


But also, I have been wrestling with my Secret Santa Sleigh -- as you know, we stand-ins often have to do with the secondhand used models, and mine went into the shop just before Halloween. I just got it back a few days ago.

But, most of all, I was foolish enough to sign up for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), and have committed myself to writing a 50,000 word novel in 30 days (Gods, help me!). Thankfully, I just broke the 40,000 word mark, tonight.

(and no, it will not turn out to be readable, but that's not the point) :-)

And a note to my Santee (whoever you are: Don't worry, I have not forgotten you!
