Resolved...(slightly)

I've resolved the problem slightly about not being able to write during Thanksgiving. I asked my dad specifically "So I can't write at all on my story while family is here?"
The response came back as something along these lines:
Well, you'll have to be really careful about that, because if you're on the computer all day you won't get to spend any time with them, and you don't want to seem rude or anti-social.

So watch myself. But if I'm careful, I can maybe get my daily word count done! I'm determined to get my word count done, and still spend plenty of time with family!

Hang on...they're still going to wonder what I'm doing on the computer...I'll end up saying I'm writing a novel, if my parents don't tell them right away, and then they're going to ask the infernal question!!!!!

"What's it about?"

GAH! How in the world am I supposed to sum up my novel in one sentence? Even two or three, it's virtually impossible! Oh well, se la vi. I'll start practicing. Hmm...

My novel is about six people who escape from slavery in a different land and find their way home.

My novel is a fantasy about six people who escape from slavery in a neighboring country while their home country is at war in the country their slave in and they escape and go home where they have to save their home and stuff like that.

Hm...dangit, it's just too complicated to explain in just a few sentences!
