Okay, we’re skipping the turkey carcass.. but I did find some other lovely shots (stay tuned).

Kitchenmage, no, I think we’ll be officially welcomed when we end up on the Sealth next time it goes off course and slams into a rock. :-)

Hey Owen — thanks! Sorry you didn’t accomplish Nano, but please pass on a hearty congrats to your family, and a wow on your wife’s word count! My draft is really just “book one” of a larger piece. I don’t know if it’ll get as high as 200k, but maybe half that or so, fingers crossed!

congrats on the nanowrimo finish – I never managed it and have then been humiliated for three straight years as my daughter has now finished her 2nd, 3rd and 4th novels (we knew she had a knack when she actually wrote one WITHOUT the impetus of nanowrimo!) My wife has finished 2 (but they count extra since BOTH are closing on 200,000 words) and even my younger daughter has done one.

So congratulations – despite all the pushes from everybody – I have never managed it…

No, that ain’t fair. (But I got close to that on my blog.)

Thanks, Noodle!

Hey Gracianne — This particular book’s all adventure, though there aren’t any actual gladiators. :-) The soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean would be a more appropriate choice, but I don’t have that one in my CD collection…yet!

B’gina — go go go! Write away!

Thanks, Kalyn!

Hey Cookiecrumb. Happy birthday to Beansprout! We’ve just the one puppy. “Platelicker” is her blog nom de plume. I did see the ugly food photo call. I took a picture of a turkey carcass that rotted in the back of our fridge for a month, but that might be a bit over the top, eh?

Missed you!!
Hey — my doggie’s second birthday was Sunday. Platelicker’s too? (Er, do you have more than one doggie? Oh, no. Just the barfer?)
Mrs. D, did you see the ugly food photo call for entries at Food Blog S’cool? Go have fun.
xx

Congrats on the NaNo finish. I’m a little over 2k away from mine, so, tonight, tonight!

What an adorable puppy she was. What a week. Hang in there guys.

Felicitations Mrs D. What a week, you must be exhausted! Gladiator’s soundtrack eh? What kind of novel is it, I wonder?
