"Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go. . . . Writing is like driving at night in the fog. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way. . . . Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia."(E. L. Doctorow)

Wow, the year is flying.....

Taking the time to post really quick before I settle down to watch the movie Up. Reading my emails this morning realized how much my life changed this year. Not sure if any of you have gone threw something similar. If you have will you share, please. As it is I think I am totally nuts. Completely stopped watching television the queen of re-runs has become an avatar. So, besides picking up writing as a recent hobby I no longer follow the news channel, movies of any kind or any mystery shows. My passion really Quincy, Columbo, Ellery Queen, Murder she wrote, Nancy drew and Hardy boys, pretty much any detective show out there. Oh, lets not forget Matlock love his accent. Then again my one and only comedy show I watched The Nanny. So, as I read the emails laugh sorting my activities for the day with an order waiting in the wings, my typing and errands. The day flew my only thought I can't wait to run to the movie theater to see New Moon. I think do I miss television? Actually, I really don't if I need more I read, take a drive or call a friend. Do I need a vacation? Hell yes, along with everyone else out there living as an avatar.

Many of you have been as quiet as a mouse tiptoeing around so I can finish the contest. Don't worry no need to tiptoe I miss you guys....See you on Cyber world pick a spot catch you there. ;)

What day is it?

Shocked to see how long since I posted. What have I been doing?

Found a comment this morning on my post about death in July. Funny thing about my original post was it all started when a close friend sent me a goodbye email. Being the marhsmellow I can be around bad news. Completely broke down as I read she had cancer and was only expected to live three months. Contacted her immediately, she was one of the few women that helped me learn the art of reborning. Along the way we became friends. So, as I read this mornings comment by anonymous immediately thought of my friend. Eventually, that lead to my thoughts of my dad who although wasn't the nicest person in the world his death still very vivid in my mind. He also died from cancer his evolution into the inevitable ripped threw me like nothing else I had ever experience. Realized then I would never get over it. Years later, I find the one thing I was glad to have experienced was the last glimmer of the person that threw many trials and tribulations contributed to the woman I eventually became. His only concern during his last hours where that I was financially secure and happy. To this day when I think of him my eyes tear over.

Now breaking away from death, The rest of my week will be writing for nano dealing with 2 doll orders. I must say the friends that catch me on IM have been incredibly understanding and rarely pop in since they understand how crazy I am when I am writing. A big thank you to all of you guys. Catch you on cyber world.....

Inspire me..........

Hi everyone, well after careful consideration decided to just sit down and bang away on my computer. Let the plot of the story take hold. Much to my surprise I was able to type out the first 2000 words in a few short hours. After posting my accomplishment on the word count score board at Nanowrimo continued typing. You guys were right the story would come to me. So, there it is the beginning of my new novel can see the characters clearly am starting to fall for the plot. Good thing since I get to write it.lol
You know if it doesn't grab me there is no way I can finish the novel. Just one of my quirky rules. It has to strike me as something I would personally enjoy reading. Some of you have read some of my work and glad to say I got really good feedback, so cross your fingers really like the direction this piece is taking now to just add the twists and turns. Have a great week you guys see you on cyber space pick a place. LOL
