Musings

I'm so excited for NaNoWriMo and the story I'm writing. My WiP#1 is an adventure/romance and WiP#2 is SciFi. This one is going to be my attempt at middle grade fantasy. I'm going to use my oldest granddaughter as the inspiration for the main characters, and I've already collected names she likes and doesn't like, her tastes in food, clothing, and music for the MCs.

When it's completed, Paul (one of my artistic sons) is going to do some artwork for it, and I'm going to have one or two copies published. I'll give one to her and keep the other.




Ever feel like your personal mirror is lying to you? I know I'm no lightweight, but I swear when I get ready for work I look a lot better in my bathroom mirrors than I do in other mirrors or windows. What's with that?

I've always struggled with my weight, but I work out regularly and I'm sure the amount of lean body mass I have is higher than one would expect from someone my size. It's just frustrating. I keep thinking as I approach those "golden" years where your hair is gray and your skin is wrinkly and saggy that I'll be more resigned to the grandmotherly *coughdoughboycough* figure, but so far it ain't happ'nin'.

*sigh*

I think it's a conspiracy.
