It is going to be a Merry Christmas after all. We now have
Charis safely across the border and all is well here in the north.
However,
with all the upset and confusion, I haven’t got a lot of writing done, as you
might guess.
I have, however, made a good start on the next book in the
Novan series, I have finished most of my Christmas shopping, I have wrapped the
gifts, and am looking forward to a few days of a slower pace.
Let me now wish all of you the happiest days of the season,
no matter what name you give it. May it be a season of peace and joy, of love
and sharing, of hope for a better and brighter year to come.
Now for the last Row80 check-in of this round.
Goals:
1. Write 5000 words per week until first draft
of WIP is complete.
Not much accomplished this week.
2. Accept more requests for interviews.
(Currently I only do about one in five. Bad me!
I’m told I need to
open up and get over my shyness.)
There were no requests this week.
3. Read and comment on at least one blog per
day.
I did manage this one, but just barely.
Well that’s the round for me folks. I started off with a
bang, but ground to a halt near the end. How did you all do? Successful, I do
hope.

Don't know how you did it, but I'm glad! Merry Merry!
ReplyDeleteHi Liv. Apparently, Canada Customs has a habit of targeting single women travelling alone. We got some stellar advice from folks on-line who have been through this before and our second attempt was successful. Yay for internet friends.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and yours. :)
Yay for Charis! And to you for finally bringing her to her new home. Sounds like you had a good ROW80, even if you slowed down near the end. Heck, I did too, but I'd still call my round a success!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennette. Yes indeed, I am calling this round a win and looking forward to a big family Christmas. All the best from our house to yours. :)
DeleteWhew! Good to know that the mission was successful Prudence! Yay for Charis! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, we're all quite thrilled to have that over and done.
Delete"Canada Customs has a habit of targeting single women travelling alone." What???
ReplyDeleteIs that an official position? Or just a few overbearing idiots? Is there a reason? Or just male chauvenist cussedness?
I doubt there is anything official, but the number of women who contacted us with similar stories was quite surprising. The thing is, now there's a flag on her passport that should not be there. Now every time she comes to visit there will be a bit hassle from customs. I really don't understand why my friend was treated like a criminal.
