Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “clown.” Use it as a noun or a verb; use it any way you’d like. Have fun!
So you know I’m not clothing around:

Who makes cakes when they need 4,000 words?
I do.
Okay. Time to write. Maybe someday I can play with this yarn!
A new pet battery instead of a dog. (Glad the truck runs but didn’t have time to drive to the shelter and to the doctor appointment.)
The math of 14×1667=
My friend and I are both behind. We are finding zooming sprint sessions helps a lot. So we’re going to try one more this evening.
I’ll write a blurb as soon as I know where these characters lead me.
Tomorrow I have a doctor’s appointment, X-ray to see what could be causing my blood pressure issues. My friends have diagnosed POTS but we’ll see.
To make it worth our while, we plan on getting shopping done, and a battery bought, and dog hunt. I so miss Kali. I want another dog! So I guess that’s a couple requests for good thoughts and prayers.
Third Eye by Felicia Day
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, boy! That was fun! It’s probably not the best bedtime book, as it made me laugh and kept me awake. With a whole lineup of actors: Felicia Day, Sean Astin, Neil Gaiman, Lily Pichu, London Hughes, and Wil Wheaton, I felt like I was watching a movie. I do hope it gets to be a show.
Oh, the craziness! The chosen one is the failed one. All magic comes with a price, even if it doesn’t work! I hope they make it so everyone can listen to it. My friends who don’t have Audible still can’t enjoy it. I hope that even folks who have to use Libby will be able to laugh at this soon.
Sometimes, things happen, and you see synchronicity in the works. Friday on GMA3, they shared about Dewali. I won’t try to explain as I am very new to the idea.
I was about to let it go. But today, in my writing, I randomly generated a young girl whose name is Puja. The heroes of the novel rescued her, and so that she would feel at home, they set up their house to celebrate this festival of lights. I’m still new, but it seems a great way to welcome a scared orphan.
I don’t know where my story is going. And I am 2k behind. But I will not give up because the story is still teaching me.
Happy Dewali!
Creating can be fun, if you have all the time in the world and no stress. But when guilt gangs up on creative juices it seems there is no more juice.
Yep, that’s what is happening with the NaNoWriMo. I have 16,115 words at this moment. I’m going to go find prompts to move the story along. I need 18,337. See ya tomorrow!
Maybe.
You see these crazy fun socks were nearly to the heel part. I found a mistake. Tinking back.
A quick NaNoWriMo report. Empty now has 15,231 words. I should have 16,670. So back to the storyboard.
As the Wicked Watch by Tamron Hall
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Susan Dalian (Narrator) did a good job of reading this, but I would have liked it better had Tamron Hall used her own voice.
Still, it was too real for me. I really don’t like murder mysteries. Why can’t mysteries be more than that? Why make murder an everyday occurrence when, if you think about it, there are a lot of mysteries to look into that could save lives rather than seeing it from the deadly point of view?
Mostly, it was a difficult read at bedtime. That’s on me, I suppose.
I did like that Ms. Hall presented facts about racial inequalities and those inequalities that women go through. I liked the parts of the book about a struggling professional woman trying to make her way in the business Tamron knows well.
I will probably not read the rest of the series. But I am sure there are those who will love it, so don’t take my word for it. Try it. I was lucky to pick up my copy for Libby.
