It's Normal to Take A While

2011 NaNoWriMo Goes Down to the Wire Again!

Damn, third straight year I need to crank out 5,000 words before midnight tonight;  this time  to complete cranking out  The Legend of  the Game Preserve Road  Bridge on time.

Four Days Past the 3rd Anniversary of my very First NaNoWriMo

I'm in a (hopefully) final  edit of Scrambled Brains - which  I've suspended working on for now.  This new project is right on time and I needed the break from editing, yet  now I'm feeling a little  that a synopsis of  the work reflects the  adage:  "I took a Deep Breath and Let it go". Of course, I suppose too that could depend on your interpretation of "it".
Tonight after dinner I need to write 5,000 words  detailing the Hobo's heritage and then to update  my NaNoWriMo word count for  The Legend of the  Game Preserve Bridge Road by tomorrow morning. I also need tonight to soon post an update here of what The Legend of the  Game Preserve Bridge Road is about. Of course,  for that though I suppose you  could always look at  my NaNoWriMo page

Proper Punctuation is Power

Mrs. Elder,  my 1974 college English professor,  encouraged me to write better. On the first day of English 201 at Montgomery College,  she started class by writing these words  on the blackboard:

"A woman without her man is nothing"

Our  in-class writing assignment was "to punctuate it correctly".

Most the males in the class wrote: "A woman, without her man, is nothing."

All the females in the class wrote: "A woman: without her, man is nothing."

True story!

NaNoWriMo 2011

My  third year,  third  November, third  novel:  "The Legend of the Game Preserve Road Bridge" -  off to a galloping  great  gain by  exceeding  6,000 words written since yesterday in heading  toward  the holy grail goal of 50,000 by the end of  the month.
