November is… National Novel Writing Month

At first, I did not want to participate again.

I was going to blow it off.  I usually end up not finding enough time to accomplish anything. So most of November, I agonize over deadlines, word count, not finishing the draft, yada, yada, who needs that?!

This year I plan to work every day of November. Whether it’s writing new chapters, organizing my outline, doing research, proofreading – it doesn’t matter.  As long as I’m making progress toward my goal (finishing the darned thing), I’m going to relax and have fun doing it.  Well, ‘fun’, might be a little optimistic, but the point is to not become a nervous wreck.

I can hear the laughter as my loyal readers, who know me so well, ask themselves, “doesn’t she say that every year?”  You could look that up if you want to. I do say something every year and that’s all I know.

It is into the Second day of NaNo – no additional word count today(yet), but I’m working on my outline to double-check my chapters. Don’t tell anyone but I got lost.  Sheesh.  I need to figure out a couple things and hopefully write tonight.

Not going to do much blog writing in November, although, I may post an occasional teaser on the “The Novel” page…

Guardian Angels

Do you believe that you have one?
If so, what do they look like? What is their name?

Does anybody ever think about this kind of stuff?

My brain, when not engaged in something specific, will meander and randomly grab snippets of memories, conversations, scenes from a movie – anything that pops into my head is fair game.

Today, my Guardian Angel came to mind while I was driving down the highway and the “Road Work” signs were out, equipment creeping into the lane – well, you know.  The “Flagman Ahead” sign told me a 15-minute wait would be in order. My brain wanted to answer all the questions about my Guardian Angel that I asked you.

  • Do you believe that you have one?   Yes
  • If so, what do they look like?  A handsome, muscular, and strong man.
  • What is their name?   Gabriel

I can speculate all I want to, but most likely Gabriel has more important tasks than me.  If we keep our guardians our entire life, chances are mine is a bit worse for wear by now.
