HAPPY HALLOWEEN

 
I must confess, my writing has been inconsistent these past couple of years. I have not been attentive to it like I should be. Life has been overwhelming, but whose life isn't? We are all here
did not ask to be hereand are trying our best. That's just the kind of headspace I'm in these days. 

Still, every year I try my hand at Nanowrimo (add me!) and hope to find my story along the way. This story I've been working on has been on the roster for a while and I've just starting breaking grounds on the plot. There's been a lot of changes from the original idea and now it's kind of a revamp from my Nano 2010 project with characters coming back and some similar structure. Been working on the outline, so far skeleton all the way down.

Speaking of which, in honor of Halloween my husband made a song! I did put a little bit of my creative input, but he's got the skills when it comes to making music. So put on some headphones or blast the speakers, the ambient sounds will take you on a spooky adventure.

Walking around, tuning stations, there is a bright light from the sky.

Gone in seconds and no one can reach you anymore."

Nanowrimo 2020


It's been a rough year, I know I'm not the only one saying that. But Nanowrimo always gave me some sort of hope, rejuvenation maybe, though, I've not been able to write 50K in a month in a while and I see this year being no different.

I've been working on this short story that I thought would make a better novel even though the plot's not all there. Characters most definitely and so I'll built off that. My main character, Ethlynn, is certainly interesting. Her name derives from her divorced parents' mothers. She's angry mostly, but unsure what's got her so upset. So when I started writing this, I wasn't too sure where I was going with it. Again I'm still not sure but I'm hashing out characters and creating conflict from there. Can't speak too much on what the story is, but I hope to come to an idea on November 1st.

 Hope all is well with anyone out there reading this. It has been a year.
