Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
I could do that. He could be the weather guy at the Atlanta newspaper.
So, who’s keeping the Nano list this year. Seems like, in our conversations, we have:
1) 1 Stuck-up-sticky-beak (a.k.a. “thread dementor”) who likes to suck the life out of every party.
2) 1 Not Carl Rove.
I may end up attempting the start of a fairly serious story...one that I’ve avoided tackling because I tend to take it too seriously. ;-) NaNo might help cure me of that, but I’d also probably skip out on any lists.
But we’ll see. Maybe I’ll do my usual last minute change of plot on about October 30th. It’s tradition.

I’d have trouble including ninjas and llamas. But I can throw in an obscure character here and there.
My thread dementor character is going to be the parents of a young entrepeneur in Flagstaff, AZ. The entrepeneur plays the role of a Flagstaff hippie (its an act - for marketing purposes) and owns a new age book store. She's putting herself through school that way, taking classes at night. The shop doubles as her apartment. Her parents can't see that she's in business to be in business (and its a good business in that part o' the world), not because she's embraced new age mysticism. To them it's immoral. She should own a Christian bookstore and that's that.
Hmm, not sure I’ll manage NaNo this year. If I get into this class I want desperately to take I may not have time.
I had the grandkids talking about the llamas and the ninjas. It worked.
*ahem*
IIRC you’re the one that started this nonsense in the first place.
Afternoon folkses!
Here at da aeroport again. Goin’ on back to the g -er... bay area yet again.
Yip. Eee. :-)
Yes but I’m not sure I can work, take a class, have a life, keep my husband happy, and still do NaNo. I mean, Talon’s pretty understanding about little things like not washing dishes or vaccuuming for weeks on end but if I stop bathing he might complain.
Plot? What plot? I don't need no steenkin' plot!
Well...topic, then. Kinda. ;-)
Usually I kind of have a first scene in mind, anyway.
From there...well, let the pieces fall where they may.
Maybe I’ll also do NaNo on the typewriter this year. Just to be completely insane.
So...who needs to have a life??
How’re you going to submit it?
Plotless in Perfect Village sounds like a good working title, actually...
Either scan or guesstimate by counting three or four pages and then do a dummy document.
I don’t know if I’m really that crazy, though.
Not me I guess....
Exsqueeze me? I don’t want to hear any of this nanoshirking talk.
