I'm going to give it my best shot, but I'm not even planning on being disappointed if I don't make it to 50,000 words, because life and busy-ness and all that. :P I'm super excited though.<br /><br />Also... I feel your pain. I'll turn 18 in March and I already feel like an old woman counting down the days to the next age that she's dreading. It's kind of sad. xDEmily Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687963762821042585.post-76885317859081586852015-10-23T08:28:28.914-07:002015-10-23T08:28:28.914-07:00Irrelevancy /is/ such a fun word to say!

I actually turn 18 next week *screams because I don't want growing up to be a thing* And I've kinda been thinking a lot about growing up too. No deep revelations yet, lol. But I'll keep you all posted. :)<br /><br />Good luck with NaNo!

If I get up at 5am every day and go to bed when my children do. Still, it might be worth it...because I agree that setting goals and trying to reach them is super important. Once you've prayerfully set goals and done your best, you can have that assurance that everything you couldn't get done wasn't in God's plan anyway. He never asks you to do more than you can. But giving God your failures can be pretty hard for a control freak. :) Just setting a goal you know you may not be able to complete is a good way to trust God--so good for you! (I hate that "good for you" always sounds so condescending. I didn't mean it that way, but these word-thingies are hard sometimes. ;)<br />I think classical music is awesome--it can reach you on a really primal level, for lack of a better term. Try some Ralph Vaughan Williams and Debussy. They're my favorites lately. (They also tend to be beloved by NPR hosts, so you probably have heard them. :)<br />Faith E.
