Sometimes you have to go the mainland

Ferry to the mainland

That twelve pack of tuna-in-water at Costco’s been calling my name for far too long…

We’ll be back on Wednesday with a Paper Chef round-up!

    Wow, you’re doing NaNo? I’m way behind schedule, but I usually hit a burst of verbosity and make up for lost time about mid-way through the month. What are you writing? I’m doing a kind of fantasy/paranormal romance.

    Well, I’m sorry to hear that it’s giant cans of tuna calling you, but good to know you venture off the island sometimes.

    And hey, I finally posted my Paper Chef. I’m proud of it: glutenfreegirl.blogspot.com/2005/11/lamb-basil-citrus-and-fish-stock-must.html

    Also, I’m trying NaNoWriMo, but more quietly. No word count, just writing every day. Feels good.

    I’m thinking that if I didn’t live so darn close to Costco, I could save a lot of money! Can’t wait to see the entries for Paper Chef. (So far I am still too intimidated to enter, but I am learning from reading what others enter. I’m working up to it.)

    Hey B’gina, belated reply here (still catching up with everything!): Hooray for Nanoers! Last year my burst was at the very end — I went from 17k to 42K in two and a half days (talk about a major Kerthunk). Fantasy/paranormal romance sounds cool — there’s a new publishing line (I’m forgetting by whom) that’s concentrating on that particular genre. Mine is historical fantasy, set in the late 1700s.

    Shauna — don’t worry, we’re heading off-island for fun reasons soon. Writing every day does feel good. Such a mood-lifter — I honestly don’t know why I don’t do it more often.

    Kalyn — don’t be intimidated; you’d do great at this!
