Here I go again!
I'm taking on the Southern Cross Novel Writing Challenge, or rather, half of it. I doubt I can write more than 2000 words a day for the next three weeks, as I will be excluding weekends and restricting my endeavors to the day time hours, as if I were actually working for a living this summer. 25,000 words. That's the goal.
I'll keep you apprised of my progress, but please forgive me if I don't share the details. The last - and only other - time I engaged in this competition, my characters ran completely amok almost immediately, carrying on as if they were straight out of a Harold Robbins novel. If you don't know what I mean, then you might want to stray over to that portion in your nearest library for a little while. If you do know what I mean, then you KNOW what I mean!
I'm going to give this puzzle over to my brain for a while, let it develop something to get started, then who knows? I may wake in the morning rarin' to set fingers to keypad or the impetus to write may take a couple of days to fully develop - but it WILL be entertaining!

"Out and about with my BFF and her hubby today! Dipping toes - and more! - into the ocean, then to the Crab Shack for their scrumptious shrimp salad! Back to my house for Italian chocolates and almonds, then they split for Hinesville. Now to DANCE with Magic Rocks! Wish me luck with parking!"

Oh, and my thanks to all for the parking wishes! I was able to park a scant two blocks from Bayou Cafe, allowing me to dance throughout BOTH sets! Woohoo! And thanks Joe Guy for joining me!

"Pizza for lunch with two nieces and a *hopefully! great-niece, then mowed the front yard and most of the back. Yeah!!! Then to an at-home happy hour to welcome a friend back from merry ol' England - jolly nice! Now, do I Hang Fire mythically first and dance later with those Magic Rocks, or shake my bootie now and welcome the dragon later??? Such tough decisions for a Saturday night!"
