Happy Thanksgiving to all of my readers and NaNo-ers from the US. I hope everyone enjoyed reading the two articles that I wrote and shared the past two weeks as well as the first NaNo update I shared. Because this can be a busy holiday for people here in the states I know that the word counts won't get added too, but I thought I would share some encouraging words today with a brief update on how I am doing. Photo by  Element5 Digital  on  Unsplash In my last update , I mentioned how I had made a calendar with a personal word goal for each day on it as well as using an outline and doing research on several different topics. Well, I have managed to keep up and still stay on top of my word count even though I started my job at Kohl's last week.

River + Eleven --- 2 --- Also a tumblr find!!!  New Season 3 Still for Sherlock!!!!!! --- 3 --- Since this is the end of the first week on NaNoWriMo I figured I'd share a small section from my story :) One cold December night on the outskirts of Paris, France a messenger arrived at the palace and demanded to see King Leonard and Queen Clotilde.
