CELEBRATE

Hi I will make this a quickie as I am in the library using their wifi. I should have it at home in about a week. I just wanted to thank everyone for their posts- I do see them, I just haven't had a chance to log in and do anything on the blog. I am sorry I cannot post the icon and link this time. I want to be grateful for free wifi this week. When did it ever get so complicated to get internet at home? It is a good thing we can go to places like Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, libraries, etc. I really miss my home internet. Anyway, shout outs to fellow nano-ers. Happy writing all!

IWSG

Purpose: To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!

Posting: The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Post your thoughts on your own blog. Talk about your doubts and the fears you have conquered. Discuss your struggles and triumphs. Offer a word of encouragement for others who are struggling. Visit others in the group and connect with your fellow writer - aim for a dozen new people each time.

     Well hello there. I know I have been sporadic in my posts. I don't have internet access at the moment, and am at the library to use their free Wi-Fi.
     You know, I have been trying to get my ebook Desdinova available in print. But I got a nasty surprise when I tried to format for print. I have a crappy little computer, and I wouldn't be able to format it the way I want, so I am just going to hold off on that for awhile.
     I still have 3 WIPs. I was involved in GothNo but had to stop writing on the project due to being on the road and without internet. I have decided to just carry over that project for Nano in November. I will just be a rebel. As soon as I can set up again to write I will continue on that.
     You know, the most frustrating thing about writing to me, is that "real life" intrudes. Everything is so urgent these days. And before you know it, you are in another situation and state of mind entirely.
     However, I hope you all have happy inky trails to follow...

CELEBRATE

Well hey all. Remember me??? I have been unable to post as I have no internet. How did we ever live without internet? There also has been a lot going on in my personal life I won't bore you with. Anyway, today I want to celebrate National Novel Writer's Month, affectionately known as NaNoWriMo. Which incidently starts today! I will be working on the same gothic novel I tried to write for Gothno, as I haven't been able to work on that. Guess I will be a rebel, nothing new. Hope everything is happy and wonderful out there in blogland. Happy writing!

WRITE A STORY WITH ME

     Oh my goodness! On October 28th, another one of my installments of Jennifer Eaton's "Write A Story With Me" appeared on her site. Here is the link to it.

     Well hello all. Busy here still trying to finish up chores. Busy busy. Today I want to celebrate black bears. Poor things, they are so beautiful (just not on my back porch!). Today one of the marauding babies was dead on side of road, hit by car. So sad. So today I want to celebrate them.
     So much to do and think about now. I hope all is well out there in Blogland. Blessings.

     Hello all, I am back again- okay, so I am a day late!! I honestly thought about writing a post yesterday but yes, I am still battling with cutting this overgrown grass. I have an old weedwhacker that only holds a 10 minute charge at a time (for which it takes hours to charge). Yeah, try that on 2 acres... BUT I want to celebrate that at least I am getting somewhere with it! Also I want to celebrate that I have most of my cuttings in the ground now, except for the few that haven't rooted yet... I have the houseplants brought in for the winter...
     I want to celebrate Autumn, too. How beautiful it is. The cicadas aren't nearly as loud in the woods, just an undertone. The crows are cawing, the sun dapples through the trees- which are losing their color turning leaves. Pretty. I sure love the cooler weather too. But it is starting to freak me out to turn the heat on at night! Allergy pills are my best friends right now...
     I am writing for GothNo still. I didn't prepare as much as I wanted, so I took a few days off to work on character sheets,  story line, & just regular brainstorming. Success!
     Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone of you, & that you are in good health (I'm talking to you, Jaileen!!).
     For your entertainment, here is a picture I took of mom's Persian kitty Angel. (I call her Jellybeans). (anGEL = JELLybeans: get it??) I need to give her another haircut , her hair is growing again... She looks fluffy now, but it is nowhere near the monstrous size she will be if it grows out all the way. She is more comfortable with her cut, and looks adorable!
     Happy day all...

 

(UPDATE: How did it become Sunday? I thought it was only Saturday? Wow, I have been alone too long here. I am 2 days late, I guess. OOPS mybad, ya'll...)
    

FADED AWAY

     Well hello there. I seem to have faded away there for awhile. I am pulling myself out of this funkhole I fell into... I have missed a CELEBRATE, and will get back on track here. A lot of changes going on in my life right now.
     I have started GothNoWriMo, after waiting for it for so long... I have dug out my old fav gothy music for atmosphere and find that I still LOVE it: The Cure, Danzig, Ozzy, Blue Oyster Cult, Kate Bush (still love her Wuthering Heights.), Evanescence, Alice in Chains, Fury in the Slaughterhouse. I now realize I need to get more gothy type music. Yes, World, I am still "ME".... (What a relief.)
     The writing is going ok too... I was able to get started this morning, and this is where I want to be. Deep in my own stories, bringing them to life.
     I finally read through the AugNo Anthology, and really enjoyed the stories of my fellow authors in it. Of course, it is a thrill to see my own story right in the middle of it. Does anyone know of any other anthologies I can write for?
     I will try to post better on this blog, and re-join my communities. Everyone needs a vacation now and then.
     HAPPY OCTOBER everyone! My favorite month (besides January).
