Dark and Stormy Night Publishing

I just want to say that I am so proud of Sean for finally working on my new blog and getting it to look like an actual blog--although not anything like the finished product. In light of these actions, i'd also like to officially announce that Sean is making me a new blog that should be up and running by October, and I will be moving over there as soon as I can. In case you were wondering the difference, this one is going to be on wordpress, and since it is coded by Sean it means I can do lots of extra stuff that I haven't been doing on here--hopefully. I have grand plans for it, including book reviews, tidbits of my writing, things that I learn about writing from my own experience and from others, a list of books that I plan to read, and perhaps occasionally anecdotes from my authors at work. But more on that later!

The key to NaNoWriMo, which I think they tried to tell me when I signed up, but never really sunk in until today, is that you have to just keep spewing it out, no matter how bad it is. Normally I would think of a better way to say-- "He looked down at his hands to make sure he was still invisible--he was." I wouldn't ignore the fact that I just used a dash two sentences ago. I would avoid at all costs using "desperate" three times in one paragraph, and using words like "alright" and "nonetheless". But these are not normal circumstances, my friends. Desperate times, desperate measures. If I have to just keep writing the bad screen play and wait for the artistic descriptions to come in December, then so be it. I will get caught up on my writing! I will further my plot along with terrible dialogue! I will go forth into the tempest which is......NANOWRIMO!!!!!!!
