I achieved 50000 words of a rather disjointed novel, and it was great fun! Now for the editing process, meep.

I was brought up as a rather fundamentalist Christian, and abandoned that faith for good and all due to the gross hypocrisy and corruption that was obvious in so much of the higher ranks of the church. I determined that if these people, who called themselves good Christians, were going to heaven, I didn’t want to be there.
Since then I’ve drifted into paganism, and now I’m an agnostic pagan. I can’t see worshiping a deity right now. I think I need to learn how to be myself, stand on my own two feet in the world and know where I am in it.
So I’m definitely not going to end up Wiccan.
I do believe in reincarnation (even when I was a Christian I believed that my soul existed before my life), and I’m strongly drawn to the theory that I chose the way my own life would go before I began it.
That probably means I should get with the program and keep working on making myself a better person, asap.

I am in housecleaning hell right now—you know, the part where you’ve cleaned enough to know just how bad the problem is and you can’t just stop now, because everything that needs to go somewhere is spread out all over the place.
All the clothes my husband and I own are on the bed, and I have to get it cleared before tonight. Waaaah.
