Pre November Blues

Specifically, the NaNoWriMo jitters.

Less than a week away and I’m getting very nervous. I still have no clue about what I want to write, who my protagonist(s) are, and who’s point-of-view to tell the story (what story??) from. My brain is a vast plain of nothingness.

Maybe this is the way my subconscious prevents me from getting a head start (cheating). If so, I better wake up November 1st full of ideas and momentum. Do you hear me subconscious mind?

Then, I realize I’m not home at my computer on November 1st. I’ll be at my daughter’s house, recovering from Halloween festivities with my granddaughters. Mental Note: pack a new notebook and several pencils to take with me. Who knows? I used to write epic stories in spiral notebooks when I was a kid.  Perhaps returning to my “roots” will give me the creative boost I need. Or not.

Old Notebooks
The Pile of Epic Stories – somewhere in a box…

Stay tuned!

                 Retiree Loses Her Mind

Partying Retiree

Ms. Betty Lou Harris embarrassed her friends on Thursday by behaving inappropriately at a riverboat luncheon.

Apparently, Betty Lou believed she was on a Caribbean cruise. She did the Hula and tried to teach everyone how to dance the Macarena.

Although disruptive, there were no altercations or injuries. One crew member told us, “Man, that old lady could party! Her legs were like a 20-year olds.”

After the boat docked, Ms. Harris’s friends took her to the nearest emergency room for evaluation.

No further information has been released.

WPC: Silhouette

~ JodiLea ~ 2 Comments

I’m tired of writing out Weekly Photo Challenge so I’m creating a new acronym: WPC. And, since I’m a lazy typist, I’ll create WWC (Weekly Writing Challenge) while I’m at it. Which explains the title of this post. Just FYI.

In case you have not read enough of my posts to figure out my sun rises and sets on my granddaughters; it does. So you shouldn’t be surprised to see the little angels show up now and then for WPC  😉

In this photo, my 2-year old angel looks out at the backyard and contemplates. On what, I don’t know. But she rarely stays in one place for 30 seconds, so I captured a photo of her silhouette that morning.
