This pretty much sums it up for me today...

Writing is easy:  All you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.  ~Gene Fowler

It Is Time...

Wow!  Hello again little blog!  You've been neglected.  My apologies.  Life this summer has been very full and I've been busy cherishing each moment of it.  Now Autumn is quickly approaching I need to finish the work I began a few months ago, and prepare for the novel I'll be writing in November for the NaNoWriMo.  It's time to get my head in the game!

I've spoken with a score of people who've completed the NaNoWriMo, and it certainly sounds like a daunting task.  One that I'm very much looking forward to.  They've warned me about the eccentric behaviors some writers might experience during the course of November.  I've heeded their advice and have started preparing friends and family, with the hope I won't be committed to a loony bin.  

Let the games begin!

Ink surrounds me all the time
On my bed sheets, recorded in rhyme
Quills ever scribbling in my head
Sometimes damnit I forget what they said.
Ink has settled into my fingerprints
But to keep the words I fear to rinse...
