Alright. So it's Riley.
Now I need to just block out my week, and find time to get to 5,000 words before I land in Europe for my very busy week of work.
I've always thought of the Navidad story as something that did NOT come from Riley's voice, but if he is that engaging a character, that I'm reprising him... then I guess I'd better get into his head and talk like him, rather than just describing his oddness.
I have to be the oddness.
Despite the egregious license taken with the NOUN "novel" by the folks at NaNoWriMo, I am going to participate in this event in a few days.
Yes, I'm going overseas on business trip for a week smack in the middle, but I'm thinking of trans-Atlantic flights and odd jet-lagged hours in a hotel room and a dearth of internet connectivity (that's free), and there you have a few hours in the day to make up for the trip.
Hungary. I'm going to Hungary.
Stay tuned. I won't be writing anywhere else about my writing. The NaNo forums are horribly slow this year. I might post one or two things but that's about it. I might write protected entries, so let me know if you want to be a friend, etc.
I need to see if there's a newer version of Scrivener. That was a very useful thing last year.
What's your cure for the common cold?
I head straight for the EmergenC and a good fresh batch of pesto. And if that doesn't do the trick, I continue with the garlic - fresh, crushed in olive oil mopped up with good bread.
