It was a lazy day spent with my favorite person, my dear husband. We puttered around the house for most of the day. I made French toast for brunch and he took me out to the local diner for lunch. He had a craving for chili. I&#8217;ve never eaten theirs but it does smell of yum.<\/p>\n<p>About 5 in the evening he remembered we needed to do something about our phones. The contract period is over and it&#8217;s time to renew and upgrade. So off to the phone store we went. He got the newest basic model with no extras, while I decided to splurge a little bit and got a phone with GPS navigation on it. It was bundled along with web browsing, so now I have that, too. We also removed Son-the-younger&#8217;s phone from our account as he went off and got a new service. He&#8217;s out of college, gainfully employed and engaged to be married. All-in-all, even with my whizz-bang phone, we&#8217;ll save some $ in our monthly billing over our last contract.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nanowrimo.org\" target=\"_blank\">NaNoWriMo<\/a> started at midnight on November 1st. Or maybe it started at 11pm or 1am, I&#8217;m not sure since we move the clocks back today. In any case, it is now in full throttle and people all over the world will be trying to complete a first draft of a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. In a way, that novel is why I am up at this before dawn hour on a Sunday morning. My novel, which I have yet to start, was invading my dreams. And since the opening scene is rather dark and intense, I was giving myself nightmares reliving it over and over again in my sleep.<\/p>\n<p>PiBoIdMo also started today. Slightly different challenge, but I accepted that one as well. PiBoIdMo stands for Picture Book Idea Month. The basic premise is to come up with one picture book idea a day for the entire month of November. The reasoning behind this is picture book writers need to be prolific and have a number of books waiting in the wings. I find generating ideas to be harder than taking one I already have and writing about it, so it will be a super challenge for me to make the 30 ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from writing a novel and coming up with 30 picture book ideas, I also will be working on the art for my upcoming book &#8216;Smoky and the Feast of Mabon.&#8217; Written by the talented <a onmousedown=\"return clk(this.href,'','','res','2','','0CBAQFjAB')\" href=\"http:\/\/catherynnemvalente.com\" target=\"_blank\">Catherynne <em>M<\/em>. <em>Valente<\/em><\/a>, it&#8217;s another Magical Child story. I am very excited to be working on the text from this award winning author.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, now that I have more planned than I can possible accomplish and remain sane, the edits I am waiting on from my agent for the non-fiction book she is repping will probably show up and need to be done in November as well. Plus, somewhere in there I will have to draw the next two coloring pages for the ABC Lesser Know Goddesses series. That would be the letters &#8216;S&#8217; and &#8216;T.&#8217; Least I&#8217;ll be too busy to get into any trouble. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Halloween seemed to race by this year.
