It snowed last night, like a proper snowstorm, and looked lovely. We didn't get too much snow -- maybe three inches fell? But it was idyllic, the big, fluffy flakes. Lovely stuff. I asked the boys if they wanted to go to Zoo Lights last night, but they both balked -- B2 even ran and put his PJs on, and said "See? I'm in my jammies!"
I'm revising one of the fantasy novels, which was around 82,000 words long; while doing so, I compared it with another draft of it that was 113,000 words long, and I decided to mine that larger version and put that stuff into the draft I'm working on, so I added around 27,000 more words to the book, making it around 108,000 words long, which is a nicely-sized fantasy novel. I think it'll work better at that length. I think I had dropped the size of it in the past because one character in the story kind of upstages the hero of it, and I didn't want that to happen, but there were a lot of good sections in that longer draft that I decided to incorporate, anyway. I'll make those work.
The boys are definitely psyched about Christmas, of course. And B1's birthday is right after the new year starts, so I always have double duty, giftwise. After that, things should settle down markedly. It's kind of amazing to think that Christmas is nearly here, and 2010 is nearly over. Lordy, it went by quickly.
