Because he inspires and entertains.... Neil Gaiman at Google I've never linked to You Tube so I hope this works.
One Blog Too Far
I had this foolish idea, you see, about the belle weather blog. So the lake belle blog is written by several different people, and it was easy to set up because blogger allows for multiple authors on one blog. All I had to do was create an email account for each character I wanted and--ta-dah!--a …
Some Words Give Me the Creeps
I don't know what's going on in my NaNo novel. Oh, yeah, sure, I'm the one writing it, but that doesn't mean much. The story has taken a decidedly creepy turn, and since I didn't set out to write a creepy story, I'm a bit baffled. Well, some people might say that all my stories …
Busy Ego Runs from Death
A word must exist for those of us who take on more than we can sanely do. Busyoholic doersn't seem to work. -Oholic really calls for a noun, not an adjective. Workoholic implies one is at an office all day, but I want a word that includes housewives and retirees and part-time workers and all …
4159…and counting
I'm enjoying my obsession with words--quantity that is. The idea of acceptance and peaceful existence must be able to fit in somewhere with challenges, or not? I suppose I've got to read this book I've been "blessed' with to figure that one out. (I've put blessed in quotation marks even though I don't really think …
Smarties and Caffeine–the Wonder Combination
Oh, happy NaNo dance before I crash onto the bed...last night at the NaNoWriMo midnight write I got to lovely 2,012 words. The beginning is choppy, but it's there--and a few lines I actually like. I'm unsure why this novel-in-a-month shindig moves me so, but it does and I'm happy for it. Just as I'm …

You Can Do It Too!
"Free your mind, and the rest will follow..." (What song is that from? I can't remember.) Anyway, NaNoWriMo is almost here and I'm so excited! If you really want to write a novel and you think you can't (or you have some other excuse), then do this. It can change everything if you let it.
Answer Me!
The problem with watching a Neil Gaiman video interview or going to the Endicott Studio website is that I'm both distracted from my work and inspired with more ideas than I think I can hold. I want to do so many things...there is so much spinning around in my head...and when shall I get any …
Pointless Annoyances and Worries
One of many pointless annoyances... I'm always baffled (and annoyed) by people who want to write a book, but they know next to nothing about books. Who knows? Maybe this is the best way to write. But I still think that knowing something about a bookstore is...I don't know...a good idea. I mean, some people …
Getting a Little Closer…
NaNoWriMo is nearly upon us. I can hardly wait, but then again, I don't really have to sit here watching the clock tick; I've got plenty to do. What's your to-do list look like? Mine is here more to help me remember than because it's inherently interesting. -paint bedroom doors (well, almost done) -paper kitchen …
