Kirylin’s Voice

I apologize for the site’s instability over the past week. Apparently, the server that this site is hosted on did some funky things, and my host didn’t catch it until this weekend. I have now restored the three entries you missed if you only read the site itself. (Hint: Please subscribe to the feed. Even though the posts never hit the site formally, they all three went out in the feed reader. If you’re holding out for a way to subscribe by email, let me know and I’ll set it up for you.)

With the site being down, I didn’t get a chance to share my exciting news from the weekend. I got my yellow belt in Shaolin Kempo over the weekend. I’m rather excited by that (and still a bit in shock) The test was challenging, but fun. It reminded me a lot of when we would have auditions masked as Master Classes at ballet.

Today will be the first time I get to put on my yellow belt for class. I’m going to be very nervous.

I also spent the weekend outlining my NaNovel. NaNoWriMo starts on Wednesday. If you haven’t signed up for this crazy ride through the month of November, go sign up now! This will be my fifth NaNo, and only my second not in the ML position. Of course, my schedule is so insane that I won’t even be able to attend most of the write-ins or other events. The only other year I’ve done NaNo in this weird sort of seclusion was my very first year (the other year i wasn’t an ML).

It should be interesting.

I’m thinking about posting a daily word count and maybe a  excerpt here. Feel free to tell me your thoughts on that in the comments, too, while you’re weighing in on the email subscription matter.

I think that’s everything from this weekend, so I’ll leave you with this new definition of “high-stakes gaming“. (My inner gamer girl giggles at this one.)
