I was flipping through an art book and was inspired to place my little island of Ocean End (from my Penelope Sea story) on turtle’s back. I’m trying to get myself jazzed about editing it. And, illustrating it, since I always wanted it to be heavy with pictures.
The first book I ever took a whack at, Penelope Sea and Ocean End, needs some massive editing. I think I am just getting into the mood for that too. This is Penelope.
At some point in time I read/heard this story. I’m not sure where and I’ve been looking for it since, but it goes like this: “a great and dedicated scholar dies and finds himself in a large and beautiful library. He nearly faints in happiness as his eyes grope over the shelves before him, but when he reaches for a …
I have a confession to make: I went to college, I wrote poetry, I smoked clove cigarettes, worked in a music store, fancied myself a photographer, and took intro to psychology. All of the cliched college girl watchamacallit, I did it all, Losers! I mean, sorry, I don’t think you’re losers…I just got carried away. What was I saying? Oh, yeah…and …
I did it, after two years of enough obstacles and sabotage to ruin my chances of winning–I have triumphed ONCE AGAIN! That is, finally again after the first time in 2008.

You know, it’s not too late to sign up and start your novel this month. I mean, don’t let it get you down that 5 days have already passed. I’ve only written a measly amount on just one of those five days, so you could totally start now. I really hate to say this, but I am a little disappointed …
So, in the spirit of National Novel Writing Month, I have made mock-up covers to replace two of the ‘image coming soon’ notices on my stories page. They just happen to be for the stories that have a finished draft–that was totally accidental. I still have no idea what I’m writing for National Novel Writing Month, and I am …
All right kittens. The new NaNoWriMo site is finally up! Is it sad that I was waiting for this?
