NaNoWriMo update!

Permanently Shelved, the newest 62%-finished novel from the author of “Tumble Dry” and “Loss Prevention.”

We’re slightly over the half-way mark, cookie crumbs, and it looks like I’m still ahead of the game by barely a day’s worth of writing. I’ve yet to fall behind on my word count – a first for the six (!!) years I’ve done this. My success so far is due to hiding in a conference room every day at lunch and writing. I’m also writing on the train on the way to work. On the way home, I go through my crappy notes and see what scenes need to be written. I write a lot to get ahead during the week so that I can slack on the weekends.

So far I have…

  • 3 dead subjects of biographies
  • One angry ghost
  • A former first lady, her longtime secret service agent, and her best friend, a part-time psychic medium.
  • Four cats, only one of which has a two-word name (so far)
  • Two bleary bleary eyes

Maybe I can become the Debbie Macomber of crappy paranormal mysteries!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
