so, day 3 of November, and I've done absolutley no more writing on my nanovel, BUT! after speaking with Saren yesterday, my brain came up with a pretty elegant solution to the ending that was plaguing me. So, the story is more fully developed ...in my mind. It's just getting it OUT of there that is the problem.
And my latest excuse is that I don't feel like I have enough time in the day to do it.
Ironically, we went to the library today, and I picked up at least three more books (and I'm currently about 100 pages into another), and I also feel like I won't have enough time to read those. To be honest, I probably don't have enough time to read all the books AND work on my own, so there is some merit to that complaint. Of course, we are turning the clocks back an hour tonight, so that puts a relatively small chink in the "not enough time"armor. But really it all boils down to time management and laziness, doesn't it? Need to be better at one and ...less better at the other.
I mean, I'm finding time (sort of) to blog (again, sort of) every day, so ...it IS possible. And, again, now that the plot is mapped out (once more, sort of), I really do think that once I get past the laziness factor, I'll start making some real progress.

I was reading this article in the (weeks old) New York Times Magazine about this dude who wrote a novel about prison virus vampires or something? I forget, but apparently it's very popular.
Anyway, the author said the idea grew out of conversations he had with his daughter about what he should write about, and that made me think of you! Because your kids are awesome and creative and you would probably come up with good stories together.
I am clearly psychic.
