This is National Novel Writing Month and I've hit 22,000 words today. I'm blinded by words, so it's nice to put up a cartoon inspired by my trip to Rothenberg, Germany around this time last year, when I was still living in Turkey. It's the second Birham (spell?) at this moment, actually, and the folks still in Turkey or Kuwait are headed out for a week of Italy, Spain, or train rides through Eastern Europe. How sweet it is! Truthfully, though, I'd just as soon be headed to Arizona next week to see my son and grandson. The novel I'm writing takes place, partly, in Kuwait...it is making me nostalgic! Hard to imagine, really, but as I write about walking along the sea there, I actually do have a sense of fondness for the place.
