Got loads done!

Despite caring for 2 swallowtail butterflies who decided to emerge on December 19 and January 2nd and socializing with friends and family, and reading, reading, reading, I spent a good part of Christmas break working on my middle grade novel.
Found a neat list of kids'lit: http://literarywife.wordpress.com/top-100-challenge-archive/

I managed to write a chapter by chapter outline and I drafted the first two chapters. I also continued fleshing out my character profiles.
