Everything is fine.
Young as a weed, I am.
Quick as a wink.
Hot as sunrays
Burning through morning haze.
Everything is fine.
Eyes made of sky, I have.
Blue, orange, and pink.
Irises of sunset,
Except the sky has no regret.
Everything is fine.
Soul's cold as iron, mine is.
Brittle as old snow.
Tired as a wide highway,
Stretched straight for states.
But everything is fine.
Time rushes on, I know.
Dark, deep, and slow.
Moving only forward,
Ignorant of sinking stones.
Everything is fine.
Hard to move on, I think,
When sky-eyes look backward,
Leaving my ass
To find its own way.
Everything is fine.
Up is still the clouds, it seems.
Down is still the ground.
Just need to clear my sky-eyes,
And turn my ass around.
Yep. Everything is fine.

Work is busy this time of year (holiday season) so as it got closer to Thanksgiving, I had less and less time to write at work. I had a friend get married on Thanksgiving, plus I had a couple of Thanksgiving dinners to go to. All mixed in with repainting and cleaning the heck out of my house to get it ready to be rented (hopefully) this weekend.
November's a bad month for me apparently. Last time I tried this, in 2009, I was getting married on the 14th and going on a honeymoon Thanksgiving week.
I wish October was National Novel Writing Month. But, hey, I'm sure I would come up with excuses not to finish then too!
I am going to try to write 50k words in December though. I think I have a good shot at that. I'm guessing my book will be around 300k words long judging by how far the plot has gotten in about 26,000 words. If I can write 50k words a month from now on, maybe I'll have something publishable by next November.
Holy God this was a long reply. I tend to be long-winded when it comes to making excuses. Please pardon my babbling.
How about you, did you get all finished? And can I read it? Everyone needs a beta-reader.

It's....SO rough that I think...um....would you like to read it? Truly?
Because it's terribly TERRIBLY rough. I think I'm only going to pull out
a few scenes from it.

P.S. - I just became a contributor to this group. It would really be helpful to us, me, and yourself if you considered joining. I've really enjoyed your work and your experience with writing could really help us grow. So please consider this bizarre request, however sudden it may appear.
