I know....I know. You've probably all seen this by now, but it just makes me laugh. And we all need that, don't we?

In keeping with yesterday's sort-of theme of "What the hell are you talking about???"....I give you one of our nation's candidates for Miss Teen U.S.A.....

Howdy folks.  Well, the month of November is almost complete.  My novel, alas, is not.  Today, I was at a mere 12,674 words of the 50,000 needed. 

But never fear!  I will continue writing this story into the next few months.  I am very happy with the story progression, and I’m just glad I have finally worked on a very old idea.   I uploaded another excerpt today, and I’ll try and make a good effort on my word count in the next couple of days. 

NaNoWriMo was a good push for me to write more in my spare time.  I sometimes feel like I don’t have a very good fiction “voice.”  Then I forget how much I just like to participate in fiction writing, for the creative side of it.  I used to spend much more time engaging my creative brain, and I think I just need to re-train it.  This has been a fun month to write, and I’m glad I signed up. 

Next year, 50,000!!
