NaNo Prep
I had an idea for NaNoWriMo, instead of the outlines and character sketches and scene layouts and formats that I used last year, (i don't have time for all that!) I'm doing a "pre-story" in which I am making a fake journal in the words of my Point of View character (poor dear doesn't have a name yet, but boy does she have issues!). I'm having a lot of fun doing it this way. She's saying things to her journal that she would NEVER say out loud but all this stuff is necessary to inform my story.
Also had a long chat with my sister yesterday. Well, both of them actually. Whenever I talk with Sam I learn things that I need to know to help me manage my life. And whenever I talk to Cheryl I learn things that make me realize that an unmanaged life provides more material for writing!
So when I talk to Cheryl, I take notes.
4.5 more days
til insanity.
Cousins In Town ...
My Dad's cousin Mel and his wife BB are among my favorite relatives. And they are in town. May even be in town a little longer than originally planned because of some vehicle complications. So I'll be out playing tour guide today. Hugs to everyone.

Tell BB and Mel hello!
Ack! Is it really that horrendous?
That's great, taking notes when you talk to the one who'll give you material! And I love the idea of doing a journal from the pov of the mc to get inside her head. I can't wait to see a blurb once you get writing, if you post any. Your writing is just so amazing!
I'm not doing a darn thing until Nov. 1st.
What a great idea! I'm stealin' it.
