writing is fun

I have to say the Nanowrimo worked for me for a while, then we went on vacation and I fell off the writing wagon. At 3000 words, give or take, I still feel accomplished. I have a story going now that I can continue working on and even though I didn't get to the goal of 50,000 I still feel good about making the effort. It also got me used to typing the story on my laptop instead of longhand then transferring it. That right there is a good thing.
My latest entry was to write to the editor of the Tribune about the mamogram recommendation to suggest age 50 for the first one instead of 40. I was soooo mad. My sweet neice was just diagnosed with breast cancer and she is 40. If not for the suggestion to begin mamograms at 40, she might not be here. I intend on sending the same letter that was published in the Saturday Trib. to Lois Capps, our representative.
