Writing and Time
As one of my Facebook friends said, “What sadistic mind
would schedule NaNoWriMo in the month of November?”
It does seem like someone with a sense of humor and an evil laugh decided
on the timing. With family, Thanksgiving, harvest still underway on the farm, I must keep the motto of the little engine that could in mind.
I joined the glut of nincompoops participating, figuring it
was an excellent motivator. And it is too. As soon as I finish this post it’s
back to grind out my two thousand words a day.
TV shows. Walking Dead is living up to its name. Lots of
gore of course. It’s a given that I don’t eat popcorn during this show. But the
storyline is hair-raising fantastic, the whole reason for watching. I know
there will be death and mangling ahead. Here’s hoping my favorite characters
make it to the end of the season. Especially Daryl. I cannot do without my dose
of the big D.
The Originals. Absolutely fantastic. Nuff said.
Dracula. Watched the second episode. It has the same blood
and no-popcorn-allowed scenes as Walking Dead and a twisting storyline to go
with it. I bought the original Bram Stoker’s Dracula to read. Sure it doesn’t
follow the book but who would want that anyway? Definitely TiVo worthy.
Get ready for the next installment of Insecure WritersSupport Group this Wednesday.
I didn't have enough to do this month, lots of
time on my hands and all so I volunteered to be one of the humble hosts.
Actually, I’m rather looking forward to it. Told the family that I would be “unavailable”
that day. No dinner for harvest. No running to town for parts. And shifted babysitting
the grandson to Monday and Friday.
I share this duty with The Man Who Needs No Hyperlink, Tina Downey, Isis Rushdan,
and Michelle Wallace.
