Here comes the rain again -- Thank you, Annie Lenox

I'M NOT READY!!!!!

Our weather changed with the flip of a switch, I swear. On Thursday of this week, the sun was shining and there was a light breeze ruffling the quickly falling leaves. The next day it was raining so heavily I thought I'd have to break out the plans for an ark. I learned to ride my motorcycle this summer and now I'll have to try to ride between the raindrops. Gonna be a real challenge.
  
National November Writing Month. I've signed up the last two years and finished signing up today. The idea is to write every day for a full month and get 50,000 words down on paper. They don't have to be perfect but a good start for a novel that can be edited and whipped into shape as a viable book.

As the rain begans to sock us in for the next six months, I hear my muse beginning to rustle restlessly. The months of damp days and rain pattering on the roof nights are a boon to writers in the Northwest. Most of us have better imaginations than the stuff currently being shown on television so why would we sit and suffer through the mediocrity?

I have no excuses for not completing at least two books this winter. Wish me luck!

  1. The change in the weather is great, I've been looking forward to the rain for weeks. I have to admit when I stepped outside and got hit with the first raindrops it was a shocker. Good luck riding your motorcycle in the rain.
    I'm impressed that you've signed up to write another book next month. What are you going to be working on? Another dragon book?

    1. I'm going to try and finish Dragons Among the Ice. I started it last year but got too sick to continue. Not so this year. I will finish and win!
