It's a rather dreary Monday in my neck o' the woods, y'all. How about you?
But despite the dreariness, it's still a lovely Monday!
How was your weekend? And how fares your NaNo-ing? I'm struggling on that a good bit, but I feel like I'm doing what I can. Just don't look too closely at my wordcount. . . {And I gotta say it's so fun to be a part of the Pen Dragons, a Google Hangout, hosted by the ever-lovely Christine.}
As you can see---quite obviously---I failed to post some writerly words of wisdom last Friday, but all's well. I just wasn't able to draft one in time and have it ready, and my weekend was pretty full up with family & football (Go Vols! and Titans! and Pats!).
But here I am, and with a loverly batch of English rareties. :]
Enjoy!

Have a marvelous week, dear hearts!
I've got a great set of posts coming your way:
Be on the lookout for some up n' comin' book reviews, a little bit of uplifting encouragement, and the newest linkup in Christine's Know the Novel series!
I love all of these!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girlie! So do I, they are rather unique. :D
DeleteIt's very rainy and dreary here too, though I'm quite liking the coziness of it. Great writing weather! Hehe.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're struggling a bit though with the writing. But it's really not about that wordcount, but just finding a bit of time each day to respect your dream and make a little progress on your novel that deserves to be written. And that is EXACTLY what you're doing and I think it's wonderful. Every single word is progress. You're doing great! <333 (And the Pen Dragons have been so fun! Except I've been terribly absent lately. GAH. Time has been eluding me as of late. >.>)
Okay but THESE NAMES. I literally just added every. single. one to my list of potential character names I keep. I am completely in love with ALL of these! You are the master at name finding!
Yes! Definitely PERFECT weather to snuggle up & write (or read!).
DeleteThank you, dear Lauri! You're kind words are so uplifting. I've had to tell myself exactly that the past two weeks ;D Your comment just made my day!
Great! I'm so glad you like them so much! That's what these here posts are for! Awww, thanks, m'dear *^ - ^* <3 <3 <3
Ooh, these are pretties. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! They are unique, that's for sure ;D
