NaNoWriMo Day 14!!!!!

Almost halfway through the month, and I'm very much ahead. As of right now I'm supposed to finish the novel on November 2nnd, but it might get pushed back till the 23rd. Today was an amazing writing day, the Philly WriMos beat South Jersey all three times in the word wars, but there were more of them. I wrote 2,789 words today and have a total of 32,084. I had a reach goal of 32 k which I made and I'm very happy about.  I wrote a lot about Scarlett and the past and her having conversations with her parents. I will share one with her mom and one with her dad today.

As she was trying to think of something else to talk about she was trying to think of what the two of them had in common, and that way they could talk about something that they both enjoyed but she was coming up blank but needed to say something. “I know that you’re meeting with your father for dinner later, but have you talked to your siblings lately maybe we should all get together soon” her mother looked at her wondering what she would say. “ I have I talked to my sister last night, and she is doing well and ir would be nice to get together as a family.” “That would be nice I will talk to your father, and we will set a day for everyone to have dinner or something” having the family together as one was something that they had wanted for years and now they had it. “I talked to my brother a few days ago as well, and he said that he is doing well and he would like to see everyone so dinner as a family would be lovely.” The fact that her daughter was saying and that she was believing this it seemed was something that was very much loved by her mother, and it was something that she had aspired to do for her family. “I’m pleased to hear you say that Scarlett because I have always wanted us to have a family dinner, like the kind that we used to back when you all were kids and you had to eat with us because you were under eighteen.” Her mother looked at Scarlett, when the children were grown they hadn’t really had family dinner and she just wanted one day where all the family could bet together. Scarlett hadn't been to Thanksgiving in years because she was one that thought that she was better than her family, and she didn’t have the kind of respect that she felt like she needed in order to be a member of her family.

“Work is going well yeah we have a lot of different things that we’re doing with the city law, and the political things that go on in our city it keeps us busy,” his daughter knew how busy his work kept him because all of her life he had the kind of job where he might need to leave at the drop of a hat. “Other than what usually goes on is everything going okay at work with you dad,” she knew that they lived in a city where there was a lot of turmoil and she worried nightly about her father. “Other than the usually things that you hear yes, although I do wish that we lived in a world where there was less turmoil and that way it would be more, well more peaceful if you know what I mean” he looked at her hoping that she would know what he meant. “Oh I do I really do, and I’m glad that you feel that same way that I do about it knowing that makes me feel better,” she didn’t want to talk about anything else that was bothering the two of them. “So you’re new line will it have the bedroom, living room, and the kitchen just like the ones do now” he was trying to change the subject and ti was going well. “Yeah it will have all of those things, at least in my head and I want to add some containers and organization because I feel that is important in the home, and I would like to design for the powder room.” Her father nodded he was so proud of his daughter's success, and he loved the designs that she had brought to life.
