I have a scrapbook, but I don't know anything about scrapbooking, so I don't know what to do with it. Sue and Darlene went to a card-making party, and Sue saw some scrapbook papers and things that said Colorado, so she nabbed a few items for me. She said she had eaten really bad. I wish I could have gone to that party with them, but I'm so not good at making things. I swear, anything I do looks like a first-grader's project with visible glue strings.
I have to finish shopping for all my peeps that celebrate the holidays. I am giving a lot of gift cards this year, which lacks a great deal of creativity, but I don't have the energy to shop. I see so many things that I like, but apparently, what I like.... well, it's not so popular with other people.
We got tickets for a show in December. Sue said the theater throws some really unusual shows, so that's exciting. The one she went to was Dracula the Musical. I really wanted to see that show, but timing is everything, and is practically the only thing we don't really have.
I found all my writer shirts! I have one that says, "When I think about books I touch my shelf," which is a picture of books obviously, but a play off from the song "When I think about you I touch myself." I also have another shirt that says "Emotionally attached to Fictional Characters." So true! I'm so happy I found all my shirts!
Writer Update:
I'm trying to name the book I'm currently working on. Nothing really fits yet, but I sort of like "The Contract." Much like names, because I will switch character names until something just feels right, a title has to feel right, too. It's an alpha/beta/omega story, and I hope I'm doing a good job. I have two chapters already done.
I keep telling myself to keep the chapters small, but the more I edit, the longer they get. I do worry that I'm bogging the story down, but I think it's pretty good so far. It flows, and there aren't slow bits yet. I don't do "slice of life" fiction really. Maybe I should try my hand at it?
