Playing....

The new NaNoWriMo site has been launched. I'm starting to play with it, giving me something to do before NaNo starts.

I just wrote my novel synopsis and realized it fits perfectly with the tone of the novel that I'm hoping to get across:

"A regular, plain old farmer, trying to raise four kids without help finds out that she's got help... From several Gods. Even ones she's never heard of. She's not exactly impressed when Their representatives start showing up on her doorstep expecting to be clothed, fed and sheltered from her world. Oh, and then one of those beings decides that the moon is the perfect place for her to build a kingdom - queendom. Whatever."

etcetera_cat I'm sure you recognize the Moon in that.

Now, I'm going to go do responsible stuff. Just wanted to share it because this early in the morning, it amused me.

Huh!

So, apparently, today is National Day on Writing. Who knew?

So, as I just posted to my twitter feed: "Because my head is too full of Other People. #whyI write"

There are some real gems in there:

From @spacejock: "To get the voices out of MY head and into YOURS."

From @neilhimself: "Because I can lie beautiful true things into existence, & let people escape from inside their own heads & see through other eyes."

From @LouMorgan: "Because I never trusted the primary school teacher who told me nothing good ever came of day-dreaming."

So, yes, apparently, today is National Day on Writing. Why do you write?
