Randomness
I got back to work this morning, go me. My novel for NaNoWriMo now has a working title (Girls Who Wear Glasses), and my characters might even have names. Dare I say it, I have the beginnings of a story arc. As autobiographical as I am allowing this novel to be, I may be exorcising some demons in this one, for all that it is a light-hearted chick lit romp. I can already tell that one of the characters is turning into an amalgam of several people who Done Me Wrong (tm). Here's hoping, if they ever read this, they don't see themselves in the piece, or if they do, they have a sense of humor about it.
The Appalachian story is circling closer and closer in my head. I might be able to reach out and grab it soon. That main character has a name too. And sort of a personality. I'm just not sure what she's going to do, or why.
I meant to do laundry this morning, first thing. I forgot. So possibly no movie for me this afternoon, because I have a few t-shirts that are about to gain sentience. If I don't wash them soon, there will be an uprising in my closet. Oddly, I've been planning to go to a movie all week long and I haven't made it yet. I think it's a conspiracy at work.
My mom's birthday was nice. I decorated the house a little and she got to blow out birthday candles for quite possibly the first time ever. And now I have leftover cake to eat. Yay.
More resumes out. Still no phone calls.
