I had a great idea for today’s blog. But first thing today, my husband decided to run utilities and updates for me. I hate doing that, so I’m always grateful when he wants to do that boring task. But that means I lost all my tabs.
Two projects have me challenged. Figuring out how to make the heel hole in my yoga socks. Especially, two at a time socks. No YouTubes seem to address my particular issues. But I had saved a couple that would have helped a bit. So issue one was finding the sites.
Problem number two: I have created three characters. I actually dreamed about them and wanted to draw and write stories to get better acquainted. But the socks got in the way.
I finally separated the socks and find it is working. Yay! But somewhere my muses are giggling about how best laid plans fall down the rabbit holes! The joke is on me!
It is full fall now. It seemed the leaves turned and are falling within a couple of days. We’re back to dripping faucets and heaters. I’m still rebelling with bare feet. My brother and son still wear shorts with heavy jackets to take out the dog.
It takes strength of character to develop characteristics for new characters.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “eek/eke.” Use one, use both (for bonus points), use ’em however you see fit. Enjoy!
Eek! My stream is rather a tiny creek, this week. But let’s keep eking it out. Or am I just a geek speaking tongue-in-cheek? Ewe, that reek is not fenugreek!
See you midweek!
Well, I reported the finished projects last week, so today I’ll share new projects and progress of others.
Having not found a website to track my November novel, I’ve started to prepare anyway. My friend and I got together today to start finding characters. We’ve done it often this way. In person when we could, but now on Zoom.
It’s always a surprise how quickly the new character becomes nearly flesh and blood. As my first character came through, Ervin Norbert Dorris (the name randomly generated in WriteItNow 6.03c) seems a dirty troll under his homemade bridge with an attitude like Dexter. Well, the antagonist showed up first. That’s different.
My friend found a rather strong pretty punk character I think will be quite fun.
How do you start a book? For us the characters seem to people a world. Hopefully, all that prep gives us a start.
Happy prepping, all my NaNoWriMo friends!
What are you all doing for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) now that we don’t have a website to keep track of our progress?
