The last...

...writing organisation is being restructured, so that's the third and final writing community that I joined is potentially gonna change beyond recognition/close, so I'm on my own with my writing again now.

The restructuring will be to make the region into smaller regions, so the organisation will still exist, but it doesn't seem like there will be much/any community between all the different regions.

I can see it from both sides and I'll stay a member until I make up my mind one way or the other, but there's no central community for my children's writing any more.

I've just...

...read the plan for what would have been my NaNo novel and I think I've hit the nail on the head with this one.

It starts with a huge amount of anger and stroppiness by the MC and the foster dad is feeling pretty worried about how he'll cope.  The MC goes through all kinds of emotions throughout but they and their blood family finally start to understand what love is and where they had all been going wrong.

It's definitely a happily-ever-after ending, especially the last chapter, but I think I've finally hit the sweet spot with this manuscript and I'm feeling proud and emotional right now.  I hope I do it justice when I come to write it.
