WYAOD

I participated in Write Your @ss Off Day today. Everyone was supposed to put in 8 hours on some writing-related activity. I launched a new project, and I wanted to jump in with both feet so WYAOD seemed like a plan.

• I managed 6 hours.
• I wrote 3,544 words.
• I experienced a power outage that caused me to have to re-write one page. (I save frequently.)
• I received a very disappointing rejection letter for TAoCBS.
• I plan to goof off this evening.

Sunday

The begonias are blooming – inside.

Too Easy

On Monday, I posted this mystery photo.

All of the guesses had something to do with food, especially bready and eggy foods.

The mystery photo is the bottom of a popover, so....

EVERYONE WINS!

(except there are no prizes)

Thanks for playing.

Odd Ends

In my ongoing quest to read spy books, I discovered Femme Fatale: Love, Lies and the Unknown Life of Mata Hari by Pat Shipman. It seems Mata Hari was less of a spy and more of a woman who needed money. The problem with biographies is you can’t necessarily look forward to a happy ending.

Moon Rat is hosting a Write Your @ss Off Day this weekend (Feb. 5-8). I hope to join the fun on Monday as it would be a fantastic way to launch my new project.

Traveling the Blogosphere

Today you can find me at Literary Rambles. Casey McCormick posted my research tip.

Yesterday, I found myself over at Fiction Notes. Darcy Pattison mentioned my first post on shrunken manuscripts.

Thank you, Casey and Darcy!

Also, I learned that some people are having trouble posting comments on this blog. I’m sorry about that. I’ll see what I can do.

What is it?

Is it easier or harder than the glass plates?

I'll post the answer on Friday 2-5-10.

Sunday

rushing river

Yesterday, a flock of wild turkeys crossed the road in front of the car, but by the time I got my camera out, they’d mostly moved on. So, here’s more ice – because it doesn’t run away.
