Between National Novel Writing Month and the day of gift giving, the great writer Bella fails to post on her blog. For the curious minds, a little peek at what keeps posts from appearing here.
1. I need to completely rewrite the second half of the novel that I was rewriting for nanowrimo. I found it dissatisfying when I read through the whole novel at once.
2. I started one holiday themed story for your reading pleasure and realized it had a prequel, so I started to write the prequel. Then I saw a holiday movie that had similarities to my prequel and it bummed me out because while my idea is different, people love to accuse other people of stealing ideas. (How many completely new ideas can appear about the holidays?)
3. I've been making treats for friends and family because such is expected of hobbits at this time of year. I suggest mixing popcorn with pretzels, nuts, and mini marshmallows and coating them in melted chocolate (use a double boiler). Then you spread your concoction out on a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil (and sprayed with cooking spray). Pop the cookie sheet into the fridge to chill for a half hour before breaking apart and munching away. Delicious.
4. Holiday visitors require me to tidy up my home. I do this by completing craft projects and throwing away items that confuse me. Of course, this means, I have plenty more homemade journals if you're interested.
5. I have a goal to post real fiction next week. Are you excited?
Feel free to post questions and recommendations below. Also feel free to follow this blog. I still need to mail a lucky person some delicious cookies.
