Drop your day six accomplishments here. Bear with me as I tweak things from time to time. I'm trying to accommodate several diverse wants/needs of the participants with this.


And because this is how I feel today  photo what am I writing about_zps7zdvwdk0.jpg

I'm already second guessing my nano novel.

How about a few writing prompts: There is a magic talisman that allows its keeper to read minds. It falls into the hands of a young politician…

We’ve seen cute and cuddly dragons, mean and vicious dragons, and noble dragons. Write a story about a different kind of dragon.

Day Five - Those who have written!

Who wants to get on it?

I'm getting to the point that I am going to snap and people who know me well know what that means.

It's not been a good day. My best friend from college's mother died today. I won't be able to make the funeral (okay in theory I could but I'm not going to be)

And L was whining about being too busy which in theory is okay but she ALWAYS does it in a way that suggests she's far more busy than I AM (I mentioned this to EB who was about as pissed as I was).

I also got roped into going to a dinner with the board of trustees. It turned out to be decent, mostly because they left the few faculty alone and we sat and talked. The provost and president saw me there. One board member did come over to say hello which was nice. And the new communications prof was there with her husband and she seems nice.

And because I'm insane I decided to volunteer to be "show captain" for George Takei's play. Okay it won't be any work because we have to give up our zip codes. Like it will be within 100 miles of me

I'm already re-thinking my Nano. Part of me says I should do what I planned. Another part of me says I should do something in Splinters's universe because it would be nice to have two books to talk to an agent about. Another part says I should finish the Torn SKy universe sequel I started as a camp nano. And all parts of me are kicking the part that says do Kaleo's story because he never shuts up (but I don't want to write as Jana this year). Sobs.

Tor is having an open call for fantasy novellas

ETa - day 6 500 words

And happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] a2zmom
