The Princess and The Pirate King

The Princess and The Pirate King, also on Flickr.
I wrote this children’s show years ago and it’s actually one of the first plays I ever wrote. The Woodbury Sketch Club Players asked me if they could perform it in March and the director made this logo. I love it! It’s fantastic!
I do cringe to think [...]

I am my parents’ child.

Okay, I’m less postal this afternoon than I was for the morning’s post.  I had ice cream. I showed my family the eulogy that I wrote for my mom, and my sister Terry sent this:

I love the words about the legacy of our father’s temper, our mother’s dramatics and the stubbornness they [...]

The Burgermeister killed my muse.

It’s bad enough my muse has deserted me this whole year. It’s so frustrating to want to write and almost writing, but the words won’t come because your muse is looking through the want ads to find a new place to work; or they bet on the Patriots in the Superbowl and has been [...]

NaNoWriMo

Well, I did and didn’t do NaNoWriMo this year. I wrote more than 50K words, but it was for my fanfiction sci-fi novel, The Race of Cain. Since it’s based on an established universe and not all original, I didn’t submit it to the contest.
So I’m disappointed that I let myself get backed [...]

Panic attack!

I set a goal for myself back in the summer.  I would finish the fan novel I have been writing off and on for five years by Thanksgiving.
I have four chapters left to do and Thanksgiving is 3 days away!
I was doing really well for awhile; I’d get a chapter done every week.  Then we [...]

Wow! You slay me!

Wow!!
Not only did they announce that I was there, but everyone in the cast signed a poster for me with such great messages as “This is [...]

Carpal tunnel syndrome, here I come!

Yep, I signed up for NaNoWriMo again!  What the heck, why not tackle writing another novel on top of the writing projects I already have!  But I had a huge sense of accomplishment by writing that book and this time, I hope to have something I can seriously consider polishing for publication.  At least, someday.

No truer words

I love a couple different quotes about writing.  Here’s one of them from Anna Nalick:
If I get it all down on paper
It’s no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I’m naked in front of the crowd
‘Cause these words are my diary screamin’ out loud
And I know that you’ll use [...]
