The short story is I got pneumonia and have spent most of the last two weeks sleeping or taking antibiotics. Not writing. Luckily, the antibiotics worked. So, I've rebooted to about 80%. We leave tomorrow morning, literally at the crack (5:30 am) for a month in Spain. I am taking my netbook which has the memory of a flea (flash drive, flash drive), but is so small that it's nearly invisible.
Not really sure we'll have internet access where we're going, so I can't promise to be 'present' for ROW80 or even check in on your progress -- until mid-March. Imagine Seville, the land of palm trees and rich history, no snow, lots of musuems, tapas, a day trip to Granada, and, just maybe, a finished first draft.
Best writing moments: 1) Dear Hubby reassuring me that I will have plenty of time to write -- and energy to do so. 2) Spending a few hours with my writing partner F2F last Friday, catching up with her work AND strategizing about my goals for the coming month (finish the draft!). 3) Learning how to use the NOTE feature on my phone to plot, anywhere, anytime -- which led me to decide my heroine will rescue herself!

Thank you all for your good travel wishes! May the rest of Round 01 go well for you, with all your goals surpassed! That may be unrealistic, but why not be optimistic! Really.
