Three Good Things, Sunday edition:

1. This platform. Specifically, how it has flexed to accommodate the influx. And managed to maintain its idiosyncratic sense of playfulness that was initially part of its attraction to me. Filters help!
2. That we did not get 5’ of snow Iike upstate NY did. It’s so cold all of a sudden (with the wind chill) that I could imagine it. I’ll take clear skies! NJ is beautiful in this season.
3. That I had a good writing stretch today, interwoven with research, family and other plans. 10 days left of Nanowrimo and I think I’ll get the basic story hammered out (novel number 3 in trilogy).
