1. of ample or good size, ex: a goodly amount.
2. of a fine appearance, ex: a goodly young man.
3. Archaic. of good quality, ex: a goodly gift.

I am a mother who home educates her children; I would be pleased if you'd look around. You never know if I might have something to your liking. I've blogged about different topics. I hope you enjoy your stay here. May God bless you with peace, a renewing of your mind, and rest as you read my posts.

Please remember to subscribe to my blog, using any variety of methods, which are below to the right, including Facebook.

Thanks to all for your patience as I have been on the mend. I had double heart bypass surgery in February of 2013, and I needed to focus on my recovery, which has been in steady progress. Thanks for your kind consideration.

Thanks for visiting!

Day 5 NaNoWriMo

NaNoWriMo

is National Novel Writing Month,

a month long challenge to write a novel

throughout the month of November.

We went yard sale shopping. I hadn't done that in a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't done that since last year. It was a great way to enjoy myself. We got lots of bargains and met lots of decent folks.

I didn't do any writing today. That doesn't mean that the plot to my novel hasn't been on my mind. I've come to love my heroine. I'm also thinking that if I have a lot of material for the current female character, I might make two novels. The first one would be the mother of the next heroine. I'm not sure about it, though.

I'm thinking of giving a Christian slant to my story, but I don't want my story to be too preachy. I want to show that my main character overcomes major obstacles to be the best person she can be. I don't want to take the effect away by becoming condescending to my readers. The main people involved with my heroine are already Christian so it wouldn't be a large leap for my heroine to grow spiritually throughout her journey. What do you think?

Thanks for reading my update. I appreciate you all keeping up with me.
