My Nano stats have me finishing by Nov. 28th which is awesome. This is my third year doing Nano. Love watching your Nano Diaries - so inspiring and motivating!

my writing is going great so far but I am not participating in Nano this year because it been a very a stressful year for me but I am wishing you the best of luck. Saint Augustine is one of my favorite places in Florida, while you and the family are there, I highly recommend checking out the Lightner museum, it is a really fun experience and very educational and also mention very inspiring, especially for writers.

I miss traveling and just living. But, I don't miss how exhausting it could be consistently on moving days and the days around them. Exploring new areas was always the best part. As for writing I have added almost 11,000 words to my first draft in the last 3 days (didn't do day 1) which is both amazing and terrifying 😳 I can't write every day so as long as I hit my personal goals for each week I feel great

Day 4 was kind of a bust for me. my Surface Tablet just stopped working suddenly. It's better this morning. I think it just got hot and stopped working until it cooled down. I'm trying to be okay with only getting 350 words because I don't write as well on my phone as I do on a laptop. I did get close to 1100 after midnight last night on my phone so I've got a good start for today in making up yesterday's words and be on track for being able to take 7 days off this month. I know you feel like your schedule is off, but it's something that's working for your family. I'm a night owl and so putting the boys down later lets me work and still get enough sleep that I'm not a zombie. I hope it's not stressing you out.

Always enjoy your vidoes Sarra and hope you have a productive NaNoWriMo and continue to enjoy your time on the road. Would love to know more about what your hubby George is working on. I think you mentioned that he was working on something successful in Roblox. My two boys, 11 and 12, play a lot of Roblox, maybe I could get them to help out with beta testing? :D Also you asked about a name for a royal male Fae....I think Riordan would be good! Best wishes to you Sarra.

I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year and taking things simpler this November, but I still like your NaNo diaries. :) I've never been to St. Augustine, but the shops look really fun. Currently, I'm restructuring my Christian Historical novella just before my 2nd rewrite. I'm hoping to start my rewrite by the third week of the month though and have it finished by the end of December.

For a Fae name I really like Finn. Not sure what nationality it is considered but when you asked it’s what popped into my mind. Hopefully this will help you. Naming is so difficult. It requires a lot of thought & planning.

I’m not sure if you’d be comfortable doing this or not, especially considering this isn’t what your channel is based on, but I just started homeschooling my kids this year and I’m curious how others do it. I am trying to make sure they’re getting a good education without overloading them, but I’m no teacher and this is uncharted territory for our family. If you would be willing, I would love to see the kind of school work other homeschool families are doing, how many hours they do a day, etc.
