Well it has been six weeks since I emptied out the junk drawer, so here goes. There is a lot of random stuff in here besides novel stuff, so lets take a look and see what I can foist onto the blog..
Okay then. We did not do the big Halloween thingy go out and scare the neighbor hood. The wee tyke, the child formerly known as the toddler, was running a pretty good fever the day before and into trick or treat day, so we stayed home, he was feelin pretty icky. So we shared some candy and kinda just played quietly and watched for the great pumpkin.
I did go to the NanoWriMo kick off party and met some good folks. During the month they hosted a bunch of write-ins and other events but I just could not get away. It seems every year they do a ton of stuff and that is way cool, maybe next year I can sneak off a few times. I did make the 50k word count goal and had a ton of fun with the forums and other NaNo related stuff. I'll be doing it again for sure, it was cool.
November is Birthday Month. We start off with better 1/2, four days later me, then the toddler now turned tyke. Its funny. If you ask the wee guy how old he is, he says four! Ask him how old is dad? four four! Then ask him how old mom is (no I didn't teach it to him) he says four four four four four. He is such a little comedian, cause after he says that he gives you that sly look and half smile. Well two out of three ain't bad.
The month was pretty much all about novel writing, so that is all I did. I did send a few poems out and so far, I have collected some more rejection letters. Hey that's cool by me, no big deal, we'll keep plugging away on that front. I have every confidence I'll find the right home for the right poem. It was also cool in the poetry corner with a guest poem, go read it, it is good. Oh I did pretty well with a short story, more on that later..
Hey we had a good thanksgiving, hope everyone else did as well. Sheeple Gram made some good food, as always, and we stuffed ourselves. The tyke ate so much he zonked out on the couch with his little guy snore in full swing, that was too funny. I have a lot to be thankful for and not just one day a year.
Other then that, it has been kinda quiet, a day trip or two for apples, a little 40k action and that was about it for wandering. I have been reading a lot of blogs and published online material. I have also been reading a bunch of short stories and just some casual throne room type of reading. I did watch some of the new V Series, gotta love V eh? That was fun and I so want more.
And that is that. We got the tree up and we are preparing for the holiday, so that is good. No, I have done very little shopping so far, I am kinda one of those poor unfortunate souls who wait until the last minute. December should be a good month, lots of fun stuff to do, including but not limited to, novel writing, some mini pushing and dodging slippery roads. Stick around, should be some fun stuff in ye olde blog as I go a wandering.
Happy Wanderings!
