Whew!

Ok, so we've only had insurance drama with that one company; luckily we've had no issues with any other insurance place we've tried. Obviously that company wasn't right for us, so let them do what they do in peace, whatever (that and their rates are outlandish!).

On a more postive note: there are talks of a FresNoWriMo kick-off party tomorrow night. I'm pretty excited to be more involved with write-ins this year. I was too shy to attend many in years past, but I've come to realize that support from fellow writers is key when taking on this challenge. I've yet to convince anyone in my immediate circle to join me, but I do know of at least one friend who decided to join WriMo this year after I posted it on Facebook, hopefully that'll provide some well needed support/friendly competition for me to actually reach 50K this year.

Planning has virtually stopped on my novel. I'm afraid to fall out of interest if I continue much longer. I need to keep my creative juices ripe for Nov. 1. I planned about 7 chapters so that should be enough to get me rolling and I'll improvise the rest as I go.

I just noticed that my blog has gotten rather boring. My usual snappy quips flew out the window once October started (my excuse is the same as the previous paragraph--I'm saving my creative juices). Buh! If you're looking for funny during the month of November, I highly recommend the webcomic Sheldon. It's a good family friendly comic (but still edgy and relevant for adults) by the brilliant Dave Kellett. Or if you're on the look out for something "adult" I recommend Keith and the Girl a daily comedy podcast. Be warned though, this podcast can be very explicit and crude, not for the faint of heart.
