My Faithful Readers

There is one faithful reader; I'm sure if I were a constant writer I'd have more faithful readers. As I type this on an Andriod (Mom, it's my phone) I think about paper and ink. Before that mankind wrote on cave walls, and then there was ink. Ok it's an abbreviated history but now I'm typing on my phone on a mountain top.

For my fashion readers, I'm in a Tommy Hilfiger dark wash denim skirt, grey tank from Marshall's, short sleeve Jones New York bright gold cardi, and CVS multi-colored flip flops.

For my foodie readers, I'm eating the remaining half of a cholesteral laden yummy as hell breakfast burritto.

For all the people I love, especially my faithful reader (Mom, that is you), I wish that I could and hug you every single day. Please know that this blog is that hug.

Sweeties, I love you bunches!

Bravo Lunisea!

Be sure to take a look, Lunisea.

Signs from God (maybe Buddha or Confucius)

I needed to get away for a bit this afternoon so I went to Chinese lunch alone though I would have preferred to do something more social, it was all I had open to me.  The food was good, of course, and as I was paying the server asked if I had a dime.  I spilled out my few coins and I had not only a dime but also an old fortune, which said:

Look around; happiness
is trying to catch you.

As Pkin will attest I cannot throw a piece of paper away.  It might be important, you never know.

Guess what my fortune today was?

 

Perhaps

Perhaps this is why I'm not completing NaNoWriMo this time around, again ...

Word Count

I spend the majority of my writing time trying to log on to NaNoWriMo and doing a word count on Word.  It's 4,307 and I need 5,001 by Midnight on this Fall Back Saturday!

Later Post:  I'm stopping at 5,111.  And there are light tears in my eyes.  Now that's great writing!

My Literary Energy

Over the past week I've been expending my literary energy in slightly different ways.  First, I've been posting on another site's bulletin board - trying to gain inspiration for the DIE-IT.  It's going pretty well, you need to find a category and then they get to know you and you get to know them and then you need to settle in.  My niche is out there somewhere.  Where is the grumpy, approaching-middle-age place?

Secondly, I've been reading, other people's blogs, published books and even newspapers.  You should take a look at Plotastic; I've been doing the opposite but it's still interesting to read.  I wrote a few days ago about the gray haired women.  I finally got the book (Amazon's no cost delivery costs lots of time), and I'm disappointed.  I feel like the author is name dropping; which is something I really, really abhor.  I'm sure it's my own thing but I'm wondering if anyone else felt the same.  If she's making such a personal statement of empowerment, why do I need to hear about a Genius Grant winner's opinion of said author.  Of course, the author is published and I am not.  Something to think about.  I'll continue reading.  Oh, the book is physically deformed. 

I'll take a picture for you (soon).  You have to see it to believe it.  First the publisher let it out of China or someplace.  The people at Amazon unpacked it.  Then they repacked it.  All of this happened with no one stopping to say, Hey is this defective?  I can still read it, but it looks odd and feels odd in my hands.
