I thought I wasn't going to be able to hang out here much, but I've managed to be here every day in November. Today, I posted a bunch on here. I think that being crazy busy, which I am now with 4 ongoing projects (nanowrimo, 30 poems in 30 days fund raiser, 100 poems in 100 days- self inflicted punishment, and the Creative Writing Life weekly short story competition). Everything is going well, ...

I am. I wrote 1,104 words on day one and haven't added a word since day one, although I've done research. How are other Mylot Nanwrimo participants doing? I hope better than me. Post word counts here, along with anything else you feel like sharing?

I'm crazy busy right now. I need to write: 2 poems a day (for all of November), one short story a week for 12 weeks, and a 50,000 word novel for Nanowrimo. I love, love, love, being busy. It's the best way for me, because it helps me focus on what I need. This month I have no time to do useless stuff like stare at my TV for many pointless hours. I've also given up the lame crutch (which is an i...

I'm surprised I didn't see this post earlier. It's one of the the ones I would have given a response to. I don't know why humans are so quick to say animals don't have feelings. I don't know about every animal, but I do know about my cat. He definitely knows what's going on and has opinions about it. For example, last Thursday, my regular assistant who comes on Thursdays had someone else fill i...

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I didn't know that such a thing was possible. Thanks for the heads up. I would be so disappointed if my facebook account got cancelled. I don't play the games on the site but I do chat regularly and reconnect with friends. I also take the quizzes.

4 days ago
I haven't been reading any books lately. I've been so busy writing and going to events for my job. Not to mention battling a consistent case of pink eye. I plan to start reading books in the New Year. I have a plan for myself. I'm going to read 52 books (one for each week) in 2010. It's very sad that I haven't read a lot. I like to read. I have two books on my "to be read" list. I just don't ha...

cripfemme responded to a discussion called what do you love about Christmas? what do you hate? in questions & answers.
4 days ago
I love shopping for people which is weird because in regular life I hate shopping. I'm serious. It's like the bane of my existence. I actually have to gear myself up before I can go to the mall. I like Christmas trees, Christmas carols, and Christmas specials. I think I've seen every incarnation of Scrooge (even the ones that weren't so good of which there have been a few). I like going home to...

I love most people's children even the ones who don't behave so well. Although, those do get on my nerves after a while. I have no kids of my own but 7 honorary nieces and 3 honorary nephews. I have one actual niece who I haven't met yet. She was born on New Years Eve of last year. One of the big things I'm looking forward to this holiday season is meeting her.

I write for mylot, blogit.com (that one costs money to join), examiner.com (where I happily cover disability issues in Western Massachusetts) and triond.com (where my poetry is posted). Examiner is the best paying one. Triond is the lowest earner.

Yes, I am involved in 4 projects this month. I am doing Nanowrimo, a short story contest, a 30 poems in 30 days fund raiser for The Center for New Americans, a cool nonprofit near where I live, and a self inflicted 100 poems in 100 days featuring 100 prompts from my favorite local poet. I'm also posting here and at Blogit, another site I write for.
