Fail

After winning Nano last year, I just don't think I have it in me this year. Not just because I am behind, which I am, but not by too-too much, but just because I feel like I haven't made it a priority. I have had so many new things going on in the last year, some have been blessings and some have been challenges, and I just don't think that I have what it takes to win this year. I know that it is just the 11th, and I hate to throw in the towel so soon, but I think that I must.
The other thing is that I am way behind in my reading. I only pledged to read 100 books this year and I've done 119, but last year I read 202, and so I feel like I am seriously falling out of step here.
Also I just got a copy of Robert B. Parker's Killing the Blues by Michael Brandman. I am so anxious to see if Jesse Stone lives on! I am going to read it with an open mind but I miss Parker so much!
I really wanted to write a novel before I turned 40 and I did, so I am cool with that.
Ok, I am sad! But I have to deal!
