NaNoWriMo update

(apologies to feedreader people…having WordPress issues for the first time EVER tonight.)

Well gee whiz that election post was …fun … wasn’t it? Let’s get back to more…um…stupid things to talk about.

NaNoWriMo update!

My NaNoWriMo setup

I cranked out over 2700 words tonight and earned my first green box on my NaNoWriMo Progress Report. And I’m only on plot point 6 of the fourteen that I’ve written out. That doesn’t count the 6 or so I need after that in order for my intrepid amateur sleuths to solve the damn murder. Want to know whodunit? Highlight below.

A crazed widow who used to patronize the coffeeshop with her late husband is shooting anyone she sees who DARES sit in the comfy coffeeshop chair that hubby used to sit in.

Charlie’s unimpressed. (My God he’s huge!)

My weekend was very lovely and enjoyable indeed. Among other things, I watched “The Man in the Iron Mask” and found surprisingly good. Maybe Leo DiCaprio CAN act after all? The only distraction was the spectrum of accents. Leo’s California King of France — his foppish English accented advisors (Dr. House? Izzat you?) — his French-accented Mistress and mother, etc etc. I have the Music Man at home now, which seems quite charming. Thanks to work people, my Netflix queue is growing.

Speaking of movie recommendations…assume you have a very nice friend who hasn’t seen many movies in her lifetime. So that she can fully participate in common cinematic conversations, which movies would you suggest she put into her Netflix queue? Difficulty: No Monty Python.
