Lissa and James

Well, Annie and Royce decided to go on a vacation. Don’t know where they went or when they’ll return, if ever, but I have some new company visiting, Lissa and James have been hanging around for a while now and definitely like talking to me. Hopefully they won’t disappear on me before I have their whole story. It’s historical so I’m having to do a lot of research but it’s all falling into place right now and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I just wish there was someone I could call and say, “did this happen in the 1600s?” or “what exactly did they wear then?” That would make this so much easier but no one ever said it would be easy. I just find myself wanting to read their story even though I’m the one who has to write it. I hope to have something outlined soon so I can start putting the words on “paper”.

I’m going to take a little time tomorrow to go riding since it’s National Women’s Riding Day before I sit down to more research.

Have a great weekend!

C’est tout!

Hello again

It’s been a long time since I’ve written here. Life has been crazy, hectic, surreal at times, lots of fun, and super busy. I’ve been able to spend time alone with my husband and it’s been wonderful. We’ve done some riding and went on a cruise so it’s like we’re newlyweds again.

My current story, Annie’s Gift, has gotten off-track, Annie decided she wanted to be alone for a while and hasn’t talked to me for a while. A new couple decided to visit me and they have a very interesting past together. Can’t wait to see what their future is. I’ve been making notes, researching (it’s an historical) and learning all about them. He’s tall, dark and tortured, she’s fun, sassy and scared. I love how the interact together.

Well, off to do more research. Have a wonderful afternoon.

C’est tout!

NaNoWriMo

Yes I joined the thousands who are doing NaNo this year. For those that don’t know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month and it takes place every November. “National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.”

Sounds like fun doesn’t it :) Having never attempted this before, I’m excited. I have a few writing buddies  on-line and there are get-togethers around the city for those of us crazy enough to do this so I’m not alone in my madness.

Anyone else doing NaNo this year?
