Mystery of the Missing Darby
For those of you who know Darby, some of us have been wondering where she has been lately. Yes, she is posting occasionally at her site, but mostly she hasn't been around, including here, so I doubt she will even read this! This is because she is working her ass off writing an epic novel.
I think I helped to get her started because I challenged her to participate in Na No Wri Mo in November, where she successfully completed a fantasy novel in one month. Then she started to write Novel #2, which I was reading. Suddenly, she got a brain wave, and she stopped after writing about 14 chapters. At that point, she started Novel #3, which I plan to read after she finishes it. I am still on tenterhooks about Novel #2, which she swears she is going to finish later.
How do I know all of this? Our boys, Owen and Jack, are best friends, so they get together at least once a week, usually on Fridays. Also, they are in the same theatre program. As well, we go to the same church... where Darby's husband and I are teaching sex ed at our church. Plus, we socialise together some. So if you ever want to know stuff about Darby, just ask me.
