I love how quickly you are posting your chapters for your novel, Carol. It is no mean feet finishing a novel in thirty days. Normally it takes me between six to eight weeks to finish a first draft if I write every day.

    62,300 words.... and three little girls wanting my attention. I am thrilled with how it all worked out and glad everyone else was too. Thank you for enjoying all the stories about the girls too.

Carol,

Your great-granddaughters love having their Nana around. Camryn sounds like she is smart as a whip. All your great grans appear to be smart and beautiful like their Nana. Love ya sister from another mister.

Now that you're done with you book you can enjoy your family.

    Aww, thanks! Last chapter is posted...a bit of a let down after all the hype and adrenaline to get it done, but I hope you like it.

    As for me, Carissa and I will attend a concert tonight - Penatonix. Sunday, we decorate the Christmas tree. Tuesday is Cam's christmas concert, Wed. is Cam's game and Keyanna's birthday, and Thursday I fly home.... It seems as if I just got here.

    Thanks for beocming my sister by another mister.
    Smiles and hugs, Carol

    Carol,

    You lucky dog. I love the Penatonix's I think it is cool how they sound so lovely without music. I'm sure I will love the last chapter. They have kept you busy and you will have to go home for a vacation.

    Cecilia. xoxo

    Thanks, Wendy...The final chapter is posted and it's a bit sad to see my characters go.... Maybe they'll visit again.

    I've a busy week ahead of me before I go home. But I appreciate all the support you and everyone else has given me.
    Smiles, Carol

Oh it sounds like you're having the greatest time ever. There's nothing like being around teenagers to make you feel young again. You are doing amazing on getting your book done on time. Keep sending pics and stories.

    Things never stop around here... Tonight a concert in Raleigh to see Penatonix. Tomorrow decorating the Christmas tree. Tuesday Cam's Christmas concert and Wednesday her first official basketball game plus it's Keyanna's birthday. Thursday I go home.

You are the energized bunny. How you wrote that whole book, and a wonderful book it was, and took time for the great grands and all the other things involved with a visit, is a puzzle to me. Bravo!

    Ask me if I am tired? I must admit it's been rough but I've enjoyed it all. Being with the girls is awesome

I've enjoy every line of your book and look forward to the final chapter tomorrow. But most of all I'm glad you've made your deadline, and got to spend Thanksgiving with family. Thanks for sharing.

Hooray for Camryn! I'm glad she's doing basketball and I am sure she is a great athlete, too! Thanks for sharing about her. I thought you'd finished because I saw 30 chapters. That's all you needed, right?

    I needed to actually finish the book and to do that I needed one more chapter. I wrote 62337 words. I love the story and I hope others did too.

    Wow, you went above and beyond! I think the word requirement was only 50K!

    Grands are great! But I have to make sure each of them are represented when I write something on FanStory. Thanks so much.
    Appreciate the review.

You are a gem, in every way. Great author, great mom, great grandmom, great friend!

I couldn't write a novel in thirty YEARS so I follow yours closely and stand back in awe at how prolific you are.

Way to go giving Camryn equal time. Soccer, basketball -- it's all great and so nice to hear of youth getting their eyes of their phones and doing real sports!

(Of course, she was bright -- asking for your novel for Christmas -- that is the sweetest!)

You have enough going on for ten people. I get tired just reading of all you've done and all you have yet to do...

How nice you'll be surprising them with a Christmas return trip!

I hope Johnny made out well in your absence. I'm sure he'll be excited to have you back home.

Now? How about relaxing for half an hour or so? Put your feet up...
I think you're like the Energizer Bunny and keep 'going and going and going'

    Johnny calls me about three times a day starting at 6am. He tells me he is cleaning this or that, but I doubt that he is. I praise him and say that's great and then he is happy. He had Thanksgiving with Matthew,,,Matt's first turkey...and all was good. As for being excited for me to be home...I doubt it. He can't just sit in front of the tv and eat if I am there. LOl

    Oh, well, there is that... He has his run of the house and no rules!

    LOL---

    Good for Matt for cooking a turkey and eating with Johnny!
