Hiya folks,

Well it is that time of year again when us writer types get all crazy, forget that we have lives and write like the mad creative geniuses that we are. For me, getting started has been a challenge because of a great social life, recovering from surgery (had my tonsils taken out) and getting back into the swing of things at work. However I plan to get stuff done, just not sure how I would do it without the Write or Die app that I recently purchased. Thank you portable technology.

So let’s see… Pandora is up, Write or Die is up, I have caffeine, social media is off. I think I am ready.

Last night I had my first bout of nano-insomnia. I had been trying to sleep for 2 hours, and still just couldn’t get there even after taking my pain medication. Ugh. So there was nothing left for it. I surrendered to the muses and come downstairs to the freezing cold basement and began to write out the scene that I have been trying to build up to for the past two days.

First of all I would like to take a moment to thank SVAllie of www.getfoundconsulting.com for assisting me with updating my side for NaNoWriMo. She really stepped up when I needed help, because while I am comfortable putting up posts, I am still a novice when it comes to websites.

I have made my playlists for writing particular scenes. The reason I do this is that when I am driving I get certain scenes of my story in my head and I am trying to harness that imaginative power for when I am putting my thoughts down into my new Windows version of Scrivener. I am loving it! It is definately very helpful, though I still have my research books and what not for the information that I need.

If you happen to be in the NH area… well let’s not make this exclusive… If you happen to be online and want to see what I am up to as far as NaNo or any other project I am doing goes, follow me on Twitter @LN_DragonSong (Which is also my NaNo name).

Now then, the house is cleaned, I have done my yoga, laundry is done and put away. I’m going to bed early so that I can get started, bright and early tomorrow. I wish luck to all of my fellow participants. And remember, if you get stuck in a plot, it’s time for a fight/sex scene, the legions of hell to arrive, or a velociraptor. 

PS Happy Halloween
