I couldn’t decide which Bitmoji said it best. So enjoy. By the way, I’m actually making and eating instapot turkey first turkey I’ve had in decades. Looking forward to Zoom time with family.

During NaNoWriMo I binge on oldies like Jurrasic Parks; one of the tunes in the soundtrack reminds me of:
Isn’t it interesting how fossil fuels play?

The rules that Iโve made for myself (but donโt always follow) for โOne-Liner Wednesdayโ are:
1. Make it one sentence.
2. Try to make it either funny or inspirational.
3. Use our unique tag #1linerWeds.
4. Add our lovely badge to your post for extra exposure!
5. Have fun!
My NaNoWriMo book, ‘Crystal’, is nearly caught up to date. I’m supposed to be at 36,674 words. I have 36,087 so I’m going to random word prompt until I can meet the quota.
How are all of you? Making things? Words?
Black and white has been the constant of my life. It was the nightmares, yet the bright dreams, too. When earliest memories are of sitting in front of the keys and perfection demanded, black and white. No shades of gray.
Suddenly black and white was a super power. I dreamed my house was piano keys. That I had a swimming pool in my black and white kitchen no gray needed.
Per Ms. Hill:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โblack, gray, and white.โย Use one, use โem all. Bonus points if you use all three. Have fun!
Not a lot of time to get this out and make sure I get all the words I need for NaNoWriMo for today, so I’ll make this fast.
My latest binge has been Roswell. I wish this show was on every day! I love it. I had watched the first two seasons before, but I am excited to have just finished season 3. And now I have learned that there will be a season 4! Whoop! Now that it is over, I may go back and rewatch from the beginning.
Now back to my writing. The current count is 29,3888. I hope to reach 30,006
Happy Thursday, Everyone!
I had to miss yesterday. I went to town (two hours away) to get an upper GI procedure done. I barely got 400 words before I left and had no energy when I got home for anymore. So today, I had to play catch up. My friend and I are finding when we get together on Zoom, we are reasonably productive. We do a bit of a chat but then get right to it. Sometimes we talk about our projects and somehow, bringing the story to light seems to give us a push. This is her first year in a long time that she’s felt up to NaNoWriMo. But she’s being gentle and keeping it accessible for herself to feel good about it. Her goal is 25K, and she is going great guns. I love hearing about her story.
My own story is coming along. It surprises me that the story that started out as a bunch of drawings for #Inktober. Yet the characters feel as real as if they lived in this house with me. Anyway, Crystal now has 26,873 words that make me just a smidge ahead of today’s count.
Knitting still continues. I think I will have a hat finished in the next few days. I can say, happily, that the mohair is finally gone!
I also have two pairs of socks in the making. This one is ahead of the race. I like to work on them two at a time, so they stay the same length as their mate. This one is for a male, so the heel will be another four inches from here.
Cameras haven’t been my thing most of my life. I never liked how I looked. And it was a genetic flaw. My mother had the same issue. Only now do I wish she would have let more photos happen. So now I’m worried that my kids may not have pictures of me for later. And I hope I didn’t pass this malady on to them. I think it is cool that cellphones have led us all to be more about capturing the moments and memories. There are some who might misuse this new power of ours. But for the most part I think it is healthy to see ourselves having fun with family and friends. Hooray for the camaraderie!
Per Linda G. Hill:
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is โcam.โ Find a word that contains โcamโ or use it as is. Enjoy!
It’s been a long day that’s ended with dilated pupils and few words. I hope you don’t mind if I skip the rest of this blogging for today. I’ll catch you up tomorrow.
