It's September, last post was in May. I totally have a good excuse.
It was aliens...no kidnapped by bigfoot...no wait! Time travel! I time traveled into the future to help fight a zombie apocalypse. Or maybe I traveled to a alternate universe to slay a dragon and save a handsome prince(who immediately married the princess he was betrothed too ): ) Or maybe I did all of these things and more. You have no proof that I didn't.
There was the fair last month. I actually got paid this year to work at the fair. Two days straight on entering entries in the computers. Why does by butt hurt so much? Oh, I broke my tailbone when I fell on my butt a week ago and sitting on hard plastic chair doing data entry wasn't good for it. Then there was the judging, and entering in the results, and man, those quilters have a real attitude problem. And then we put everything up on display. Then the fair. It was the hottest week the entire summer. Walking the floor getting people to vote for the People's Choice Award for the quilts was sweateristic (now I know why they call sweaters sweaters. It's cause they make you sweat, right?). After my first shift doing this I stopped caring. Why isn't there a people's choice for the other crafts in that building, like us knitters, or crocheters? Finally the fair was over and we got to take everything down and give it all back. Had almost 40 hours on my time card. Yarn monies!
Now it's September and what next? National Novel Writing Month that's what! Well not next next, but next next? I have a story I've been wanting to write for years but the plots never quite been all there. Mostly character and world development but a wonderful idea struck me for it the other day. Now I need to gather all the notes I already have and write some more so that I actually have a plan going into Nano. I probably won't fail miserably if I actually know where I want the story to go. This all assuming I can stop playing video games long enough to get anything done. (ha ha!)
Till next time (six months from now?)
