I've finally decided on a NaNoWriMo subject! I've been fiddling around with a story for quite a few years now. I had about 8 chapters done when my computer crashed and all was lost. Sob!  SO.....Popcorn Prairie Dogs will finally be written! Ta Da! I know, I know-another humorous story. I just can't help myself. For such a serious looking person, I surely have a lot of odd, twisted stuff down deep inside :)
I'm aware that some people just write- well, basically garbage- to get to their 50,000 words, but I intend on making every word count. Famous last words, huh? We'll see what happens once that clock gets ticking.....

.....is definitely half the battle! Tweaking a scene here and there, query rewrites..... I think the query letter is a million times harder to write than the story itself! How much of yourself do you put out there? Summarizing the story in a paragraph or two? Not as easy as you'd think. I'm working towards a deadline of Nov. 1---and then out the query letters and manuscript go into cyberspace. Wish me luck!

Just signed up for National Novel Writing Month! It should be a blast. I already have a few great ideas inching their way through my imagination....some YA silly stuff mainly, also-strangely enough-a horror story. Don't know where that came from, OR if it wants to go anywhere.....BWAAA HAA HAA!

Punkin Chunkin! Ha! Bet you thought I'd say jumping in leaves, or heading north to leaf peep. Nope! Punkin Chunkin it is. Now, I've never punkin chunked before. I have chunked a punkin off my two-story deck once. That was great! But this year I want to do it right. I want to chunk a punkin with a catapult (a punkinpult?). The moment when the punkin hits the ground with a Phloot! will be grand.  Unbeatable! Infinitely satisfying!
