Last night I had a great NaNo opening session followed by some long scrolls through Pinterest and Tumblr for writing inspiration. I'm writing a couple of characters who share a love of fifties vintage. I could take a pass on poodle skirts and most of the bathing suits but some of those dresses - sa-woon! And from a 1955 catalog, these shoes!
Falling back: a blessed gift to NaNo novelers, those who live in the appropriate time zones, anyway. With my internal clock not yet adjusted and my girls on a sleepover with Grammy, I got up early to write *cough* procrastinate *cough.* And really, there was a gorgeous sunset this morning. I got my cup of tea, a bowl of blueberry pecan oatmeal, a seat right in front of the heating vent, and wrote 300 words on a totally different writing project. And now instead of writing, I'm updating my blog. Yes it is writing, but I'm a frequent traveler on this road. See my previous post, "On Procrastination and Revision," and welcome to the highly populated world of the ADD writer. Last night I had a great NaNo opening session followed by some long scrolls through Pinterest and Tumblr for writing inspiration. I'm writing a couple of characters who share a love of fifties vintage. I could take a pass on poodle skirts and most of the bathing suits but some of those dresses - sa-woon! And from a 1955 catalog, these shoes! I found lots of vintage dress patterns and now I'm missing my sewing machine (packed up while I renovate to help prevent my ADD problem) and thinking about one of my fellow Swoon authors, Temple West. Temple's book features a heroine who loves sewing - and vampires. She had me with the sewing but, hey, I'm camp Edward, so that's cool, too. If you haven't seen Velvet yet, check it out on Temple's web site. And now, back to writing. Um, after lunch anyway...

Thanks for the shout-out, Katie! And I may or may not have also just been sucked into the Black Hole of Pinterest for the past 45 minutes or so... Let me know if you find any good pins! Also, are we Pinterest pals yet?

I ordered a job spell on a Friday night and on Monday the place I applied for a job called for me to come by their office. They gave me the job I applied for and made me an offer of more per hour than I have ever made in my life! I am so happy! Government jobs sometimes are a slow process. You somehow managed to speed up that process, and I start in just a few days! DR EMU I will be forever grateful thanks once again.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

Reflections on Writing
I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
