Life before 2008 30 Oct 2006 02:23 pm
NaNoWriMo
I’m having so much FUN with this!! The actual writing doesn’t start until November 1 but I’m getting little snippets of time for research here and there and feeling an almost giddy sense of creation bouncing around!
My plot came to me quickly, before I even knew National Novel Writing Month was coming up. And to my complete and utter surprise, my plot wasn’t so far-fetched. It’s actually happened and has become a court case!! So I’ve tweaked it a little, mostly through the creation of my main characters. Somehow the suggestion came to me to twist the plot based on who these people are and what their motivators would be.
I’m coming up with names and profiles for them now. More FUN! So far it’s a tight cast telling a big story; I expect once I start the writing that it will open up a little.
I’ve got this little office nook created in half of my closet; it’s got a desk, my scrapbook stuff, my sewing machine, and my laptop. The wall in front of me is blank and white and IÂ LOVE that. Pure canvas, there to let my imagination wander. I’m sure it will be crammed with bits of paper, miscellaneous photos, post it notes, and other fodder within a few short months. The point is: it’s mine. My little creative space near a window, with a door. It might as well be a palatial studio for all the love I feel for it, and here is where I’ll write.

Gina, his strep is better and we go back to the doctor for a recheck tomorrow. The lump has not gone anywhere so I expect they’ll refer us to the surgeons. Thanks for asking.

Scary stuff, I’ll keep praying for you guys. Nathan(my half bro) had a weird lump come and go under his arm pit and groin twice recently- also thought to be a lymph thing and they never really figured out what that was all about. It just went away. Hope you will find some answers and that they will be good ones. Take care!
