NaNoWriMo
42,093 / 50,000 : 84.2% I have NaNoWriMo fatigue. I'm ready for this to be over. The question is whether I want to try to marathon extra words or just slow and steady finish the last 8,000 words over the next four days. We'll see how I feel tomorrow, but I might be...
NaNoWriMo Update
I'm at 33,717 words, but I also have a sick kitty. She's our current Queen Kitty, and the other cats are worried. I completely blew off yesterday, and am having trouble talking myself into doing it today. I've been trying to do 2,000 words a day; maybe I can manage...
NaNoWriMo–Get it all down!

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
