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.
Temple's dreamy novel cover!
And now, back to writing. Um, after lunch anyway...
