Less Than 24 Hours!

So I got the pumpkin carved, as you can see. The NaNoWriMo site must be down. Everytime I log onto Blogger I get a NaNo sign-in box popping up on my computer. There's usually electronic goblins floating around cyberspace on Halloween anyway, so I'm running a virus scan just to be safe.

The teleconference with Lisa Gentile this afternoon went very well. She helped me see another angle to a project I wanted to begin. She's wonderful. Lisa is a NaNoWriMo winner, and we share a love of consuming large amounts of coffee while writing.

And that's about all I accomplished today. Due to an attack of sciatica I'm sitting on a heating pad as I write this, hoping and praying it doesn't get worse. If it does, sitting at the desk will be out of the picture. And I don't need that the first day of NaNo.

Still psyched, though. Lisa's suggestions have me thinking of taking my novel in a whole new direction, possible combining the two ideas into one. That just might take the emotional edge off the project I originally intended to write. That way it won't be so overwhelming. Some of my friends have a saying, "New directions, new connections." It sounds like a good idea to me.

This time tomorrow night, we'll be doing NaNo! Yea!
