NANOWRIMO day 22... Yikes! 4222 words a day to go!

Keeping in mind that I was in Tenerife, Canary Islands,  Spain for 10 days on vacation, and my writing slowed somewhat ... I am still 38000 words away from hitting my target of 50000 words by the end of November. 

YIKES!  That equates to 4222 words a day for nine days to make it!

Am I still determined to go for it?  Yep!

Oddly being in Tenerife was quite inspiring and I was able to gather some pretty kewl material for the manuscript which I have now inserted in point form... and which I will be developing in the days to follow.

Initially Tenerife was not even in my mind when thinking about what I would write about.  Now it is the location where "it" all happens -- the pulse of adventure -- the mysterious destination steeped with haunting history and intrigue.

So, the names have been changed to protect the innocent ... I'm just sayin'. lol. 

Joking aside, the Tenerife adventure proved to be more than I was expecting -- in real life.  We heard gun shots in the afternoon.  Moments later as we walked around the corner toward our hotel we saw policia everywhere.  Yet, this news never hit the papers.

Hmmmm ...    A woman was beheaded there in May of 2011 -- in a grocery store - with lots of witnesses.  It hit the news everywhere.  But nothing of this?  I will keep googling.
