Oh dear I have been neglecting my dear Blog again. Honestly I turn around and time has just flown by! That doesn't mean that I have been dormant though! September 27th was the 1st Anniversary of DiscusssionStation.com . I helped to celebrate by working on some opening threads for both the Cuppa Presents and the Book Club discussions. That is for the books The Cuckoo Calling by Robert Galbraith (AKA J.K. Rowling) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling, respectively.
Of course I have also been hard at work wrestling with my newest manuscript - a story of a woman and her infant son. Unfortunately, the scenes seem to be dribbling forth instead of coming in a even stream this time. The thing is when I do sit down to write, after mulling forever where I want to go and how the characters would be reacting, the words flow rather well. Now that I am more familiar with the characters, I am seriously thinking of attempting the NaNoWriMo challenge. It begins next month. I think I would have a pretty good manuscript if I can craft another 50,000 words to what I already have. Of course one has to put just about everything on the 'back burner' when you commit to do NaNoWriMo. (Which means all my Holiday prep will either have to be done this month or very early in December - a pretty Herculean task!)
Early in October, our writing group, The Ink and Quill, was featured in the West Orange Times. I wasn't sure of the outcome from that story but, I was extremely pleased that our writing group had 9 people come to the last meeting! I knew after the publicity that we would have a few new people, but I didn't think that 5 new people would come! Yeah for us! If you are in the neighborhood come join us the first Monday of the month at the Jessie Brock Community Center in Winter Garden! Anyone is welcome! See you all soon.
