I had a great morning of writing.  It started off a bit dodgy with dates and facts looming again, but I found a really cool website that helps me calculate the actual days that correspond with the dates in question and it helped a lot.

Today I wrote about Lenn and his friends reading the official posting announcing the dates and details about the evacuation of "all persons of Japanese ancestry" from the military zones.  They find out that they have six days to sell, store, and pack all their belongings.  Lenn's been feeling like everything's a bit surreal, so at first the announcement is a relief just because it's tangible.  But then he realizes the enormity of what they're facing.

The next few days should be fairly easy writing.  I've got two scenes in mind (they're part of the original outline) and I've been longing to write them for a few days now.

Other than that, we've just been prepping for Turkey Day festivities.  We'll have between 16 and 21 people here (I'm hoping for 21 myself) and 14 of those folks will also be here Wednesday night.  Since I'm not cooking the bird on Thursday, I am cooking on Wednesday evening.  Mexican chicken soup, salsa, chips, margaritas and I'm thinking two-bite brownies for dessert.  Yum!
