Overestimated

nanowrimo

NaNoWriMo is kicking my butt!

Well, I guess I'm kicking my own butt AND pulling out my hair. Why? Because I decided that I would write OUTSIDE MY box for NaNoWriMo. It's hard. Oh so, hard.  Part of me wants to scrap this ambitious novel and write something I know that I can complete by the deadline, but the point was to challenge myself. I'm such a masochist.  Anyways, back to work.

How is everyone else coming along with their novels for NaNoWriMo?

Peace.

P.S. I added a new playlist at the bottom. It is my motivation playlist while I'm writing.

Fun Filled Weekend

Pics from this weekend.

Vampires

VAMPIRES! We want to suck your blood! Run hide! Hurry!

Domini1

Scary. I know.

Dracula

 

Ninja

My little Ninja!

ninja1

We took him trick or treating then dropped him off at his Aunt's. Her friend was having a Halloween party for the kids.

ninja2

The flash on my camera went out so we don't have another picture of our full costumes. There were some outrageous costumes that night too and 5 points was packed. We went to two of the bars and couldn't even get in, there were SO MANY people. I wished my camera was working because the costumes were bananas. No, seriously, there were two bananas walking down the street at one point. We went downtown too and it was crazy as well. We didn't go to bed until 4am. Do you know how long its been since I stayed out until 4am?

Sunday my Aunt gave us her tickets to the Titans game.

tickets

I like to think that we bought the Titans good luck. They are now 1- 6! Yup, it was because we were there.

Now I want some season tickets! I loved going to the game.  

TSUband

TSU band performs at half-time at all the home games! Whoo-hoo TSU!!

I got absolutely nothing done this weekend. No washing, no cleaning, no writing. My house is a mess but I had A LOT of fun!

How was your weekend?

Peace.

50,000 words?

I can do that in my sleep.

National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) begins Sunday at midnight. For those that don't know, visit www.nanowrimo.org. Scribophile.com is actually have a contest for the best NaNoWriMo novel written and you can win $50.

But the thought of prizes aside, I'm gearing up for NaNoWriMo this year. My whole quest to become a literary artist forces me to think outside my normal box to become skilled at the craft of writing. So for NaNoWriMo this year, I've given myself a few rules. Ah, there is nothing like a challenge.  Ahem, my rules:

  • I will start a NEW novel on November 1st. From scratch, not from bits and pieces of other things I've scribbled down.
  • I will write outside of the genre I'm use to and try something new, perhaps Fantasy since that's all I've been reading lately.
  • To encourage discipline, I will write EVERY SINGLE DAY on this novel. Which will be hard because I'm working on another but I will put it aside, let it marinate if you will, and focus.

I guess that's enough self-imposed rules. I'm actually excited about this. I need a comfy chair because its going to be all about me and my computer for the next month. Or a pen and pad. I did a little manual writing last night while I was running a virus scan and it took me back. It took me back to a time before the personal computer. Back to the word processor. Yeah, I'm that old. I remember a time when only a few people had computers in their houses and those of us that did only used them for Number Munchers and Oregon Trail

Wish me luck!

Peace.

It is his baby too

Ok, so I was having a conversation with some people awhile back about the issue of abortion. (A recent Theologiancafe post reminded me of this as well).

aahappybaby  

There was this girl who got pregnant. She told the father, he told her to get an abortion. He didn't want kids and it wasn't his intention to get her pregnant. He begged her to get an abortion or give the baby up for adoption but she refused. He told her to never contact him again.

If she choses to have this baby against the fathers' wishes, does she have the right to demand paternity tests and child support from him?

The bigger question, where does the man's right to choose come in to play?

Just wondering your thoughts. Please comment.
