Hello and Welcome

Hello to all,

Well, I do not know what exactly will be posted here, but I wanted to have a place to help me keep the deadlines going for the upcoming NANOWRIMO. I will attempt to post about the progress of the novel along with the many problems that will be sure to pop up during the month. I already know I will be on the road for the first three days of the month, then have an anniversary to celebrate the following weekend (12 years!! Yep, someone put up with me that long.), then the following Friday I have a booksigning planned at Hastings at 405 W. Loop 281 in Longview, TX. for my newest poetry collection, A Mother's Supposed Love, and how can we forget about Thanksgiving later in the month. With all this it will be a challenge to fulfill the requirements for NANO, but I am willing to give it a shot as I have been wanting to get back to fiction for some time now.

I do have a one page outline for the novel, but it is very general and in need of fleshing out before the actual writing can begin. I plan on working on that later tonight after the kiddos are placed in the beds and quiet takes over the house. It has been a little hard to concentrate too much today on the novel as our six-year-old cat has been sick and now appears that she may not make it through the sickness. She is at the vet and taking antibiotics, so we have hope, but the vet was sure to tell us that not many cats survive the sickness. I cannot remember the name of the sickness, but it has something to do with her liver. Any and all thoughts would be appreciated for her to pull through.

Okay, on a lighter note, I wanted give a big, but late, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to CALLIE my niece in Mississippi. I have not forgotten about you and a surprise is not too far off in the future. And I hope to see you real soon, maybe in the next week or two again.

I also wanted to mention that the newest issue of
VLQ was posted last week and is a great read for those who enjoy poetry and artwork. We plan on including fiction in the next issue as well. Please feel free to visit and leave comments for the poets and artist.

Once again, thank you for visiting and come back often and feel free to leave comments here or e-mail me.

Hello Daniel,

I apologize for not responding to your comment a long time ago. Thank you for the well wishes concerning the cat and the novel.

Sad to say, but the cat passed away shortly after the posting of her story. We now have two cats and a dog and they are more than a hand-ful. We still miss Ashes, but we know she's better off now than when she was suffering.

Thank you,
SP
