Pre November Blues

~ JodiLea ~ 2 Comments

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.

It’s a Short Trip…

~ JodiLea ~ 1 Comment

Whenever I say “That’s driving me crazy!”, hubby replies with “That’s a short trip.”

He is correct, along with being a smart ass.

Because I have nothing else to do (blatant lie) I signed up for National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) – even when you retire you have to deal with acronyms. I want to give my lazy muse a good workout, get in the habit of working on fiction everyday.

No, this blog is not fiction. OK… The “This Could Be News” posts are as fictional as they get though.

When I signed up for the event, they gave me a free  website  for getting sponsors and displaying my progress. Come by if you feel like it. If you have an extra buck, think about supporting us striving writers. Or is that starving writers?

No purchase required to win.
