November Update

Just Say No to NaNoWriMo
Actually, I like the idea of NaNoWriMo, but it never fits with my writing/revising schedule. Good luck to all who are participating.

November Scene Clinic
I’m taking part in Darcy Pattison's 30 Days to a Stronger Scene. Check Darcy's blog for daily postings or her facebook event page. I’ll write about my scene ideas – at some point this month.

“Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky”
Thanks to William Shakespeare (As You Like It) for that description of winter. For the next few months, Michigan will be gray, brown and occasionally white. Skies will be overcast. As Emily Dickinson wrote:

There’s a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons —
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes —
I’m not going to promise a photograph every Sunday. If I encounter something good, I’ll certainly share it.
