Well, I apologize for the fact that I haven't posted since the last time, but Noble has kept me fairly busy. However, I have some very good news for all you readers.
Noble is on track.
Unlike last year, where she stopped at 6,000 words, this year, she is right on schedule. In fact, as of this moment, she has roughly 15,300 words. She would like me to mention that this is the most she has EVER written. And she doesn't see a time in the near future where she will run out of things to write.
She would also like me to tell you a little bit about the story, so that you can all wait eagerly for it to be finished.
The working title she has for it, according to her spot on the NaNoWriMo website is Returned Huntress and the following is the little blurb she has on said site.
When a new family moves into the old abandoned house across from her house, Chandra Graves is a little miffed because the four siblings in high school don't seem to want to leave her alone, constantly invading her privacy. But when she begins to have dreams that point to there being something more about the family, she starts to wonder who she really is. And before long, she finds out that time is running out for her and the family. Can she remember her past before her future is gone?
Technically, the blurb is a bit behind, because as of two days ago, Chandra remembered her past, and is busy planning her future with the family. And Noble doesn't want me to tell you who she really is, or anything about the family other than the fact that there are 14 members not including Chandra.
But, there is some more great news Noble would like me to tell everyone, because she screamed when she read this, and is dying very slowly of excitement.

News we could all use
Need another great reason to keep those sights set on 50K? Our fantastic sponsor CreateSpace, whose sponsorship helped fund NaNoWriMo and the Young Writers Program this year, is offering all NaNoWriMo 2008 winners a free proof copy of your manuscript in paperback book form. They'll even cover basic postage! We'll post details on the Special Offers page and the "I Wrote a Novel, Now What?" page on December 1.
If you have any questions before then please drop the good folks at CreateSpace an email or check out their community boards.
That was from the NaNoWriMo website front page blog that the founder, Chris Baty, writes almost every day. It's like a mini pep talk right there. For anyone who wants to read the paperback copy when Noble is finished and has recieved it, please feel free to hollar at her, and she will see if she can bear to let of it long enough for you to read it.
Noble would also like me to note that she still doesn't have a laptop, and probably won't until the latter half of the month, but that it hasn't fazed her in the slightest. She is still writing hard on her desk top and, while at work, on paper, and foresees that she will complete the novel.
