Quickie Update

1. I’m still blown away by what happened yesterday. DAMN.

2. I’m behind on NaNoWriMo. I’ve written close to 10,000 words. I probably should have close to 20,000 by now, if I want to make it to 50,000 by the end of the month. I’m going to plot madly tomorrow. While I’m driving to..

3. …the NC Writers’ conference. So excited. Even though the conference is in Durham. Luckily, Durham is close to Chapel Hill. Though we can take bets on whether or not I even leave the hotel.

4. The boy’s eye and cheek are now a rainbow of colors. But the swelling is gone. And the bruises will probably be almost gone by the time I get back home.

5. Can you believe what happened yesterday?

6. I’m behind on my business profiles too. I have two interviews done, but I haven’t written them up.

7. What I’m most looking forward to doing in Durham: sleeping, feeding just myself, writing, no laundry, sleeping, no cleaning, hanging with other writers.

8. What are you up to this weekend?

9. What the hell happened yesterday?

10. Please answer all questions in the order they are asked.

    Do you remember getting together with Book Group at Port City Java 2 years ago this week and all we could talk about was moving to Canada? Much better feeling this week.

    A writer’s conference sounds fun, i should sign up for one of those sometime. I don’t really consider myself much of a writer anymore, maybe a writer who is taking a hiatus to learn more about life and then one day I am going to write the next great American Novel - like To Kill a Mockingbird or something that is not only well written, but something that has a lot of morals and informatiion in it as well. Or, I might take up painting because it is less time consuming and even when it looks like crap, people will still call it art.
