About Me

My Photo
A part time writer and insatiable bookworm, I started this blog with the idea to challenge myself to read more and slim down. Two years in, having read some wonderfully entertaining and thought provoking works and sitting several pounds lighter, I continue to muse about the absurdity of life - mine specifically and the world at large, what inspires surprises and angers me, books and other entertainments, my dogs, my unending struggle to balance healthy self esteem and the desire to lose weight, my travels and any other notion buzzing round in my noggin - all that which makes up the jumbalaya that is life chez MB. Well that’s the plan, anyway...wink.

It's the most wonderful time of the year....


It's that time again.
I've been itching to begin.
Now, only 28 days left.
The annual NANOWRIMO (that is National Novel Writing Month) challenge is right around the corner.

The website has just been relaunched for the 2010 season. I have updated my profile and posted the summary of my novel which you can find here.

As work on Lillian Munsch is winding down to prepare for NaNo, I am starting to shift gears towards my new story - a murder mystery. The unofficial title is "A Fair to Remember - A Basil McNabb Mystery". If I like this character and genre, I may write more stories with Basil as main character. But that is getting way too far ahead of myself (shocking I know).

In the meantime, we edit and tweak and are still rewriting Lillian's story through October, being reasonably on track for my self imposed Thanksgiving deadline.

For now, off I go with the usual intentions of posting more frequently; but knowing, realistically, once November begins I'll be lucky if I can get my 1,674 words per day done, let alone have time to post a blog entry.
But, I will try!
Really.
I promise.
:)
