On writing.......

So, I've decided to put my fantasies, desires, dreams and the other entralls within me to good use. I am going to put it all on paper, cleanse my soul and hopefully write a story compelling enough that people will want to enter my mind and go along for the ride. I have decided to join Nanowrimo.org this month. That's National Novel Writing Month for those of you who aren't in the know. Talk about a challenge. Writing can be like homework. You hate it sometimes and have to force yourself to get through it but, by God, when you see that "A", the accomplishment, it was so worth it in the end. Nano challenges you to the very core. Competition Baby!!!!! When you see that someone else out there in cyberland has written more words than you it is off to the races. Winner takes all. I am so ready for it.

The Time Has Come Today.

Thanks to my favorite American Idol....okay, I know to some of you it might be kind of cheesy but Bo Bice just released a new rendition of an oldie but goodie from The Chambers Brothers (and yes, you should check it out) The Time Has Come Today. Well, that song has brought new meaning to my life. I was a once vibrant young woman, I still am even if my kids don't think so, who has been a stay-at-home mom for five years. FIVE YEARS PEOPLE!!!!! Okay, there is nothing wrong with that but to be honest, if I watch Elmo and Big Bird one more time...Well, you get the picture. Now that my youngest is in school, I find that ...well, to be honest, I felt this way from the moment she was born...I have a lot going on inside of my head. So much so that I've found a whole new universe swimming around in there and I felt the overwhelming need to share what's been shaken loose within the cobwebs of my brain. I've begun writing. There is another personality within this skull of mine and her name is Isabel, the heroine of my new novel. I hope you all get the opportunity to meet her one day. She's one hell of a woman.
