Thanks.
Sorry to hear about the poodle. Glad you and the boys got the chance to say goodbye and that she went gently.
Moving on to catch up on posts for Hair's entertainment...
[sitting at the edge of my chair!]
We saw at least two on the side of the road on our trip to SW Virginia.
Didn't see a lot of fall color like we thought. Saw a little more on the drive back coming across Afton Mountain near Charlottesville. (that's for Sam)
Did see a lot of Orange and Maroon for Virginia Tech's Homecoming...
Well.... it was that... and the belching!
Thanks for the update...I was wondering how things were going. Good to know she passed peacefully.
Me neither. I've only done short stories before. I'm going to try doing chapter synopses. I have to know where the story is going in general before I start.
It's still pretty warm and humid here. The so-called experts are looking for good color this year whenever the leaves decide to turn.
...and the smell...
Sorry to bore you Hair, seems I'm all caught up...
Same here. This is just very late for the trees to still be green.
Some sinister Elvish plot....I can feel it.
This is what I've started doing. I THINK it's the way to go, but I haven't finished the whole story in synopses format...I have a brief synopsis of the whole story written, and then ideas for about the first half a dozen chapters. I have to do some thinking about the rest of the chapters. I don't know if I can do this! And my chapters sound really lame...but I guess the whole point is to try, not to write the next best seller, so who cares?
Are we allowed to write an outline / synopsis before the thing begins?
Our leaves are turning brown or just plain falling out now. Almost winter!
We had snow this morning, enough to stay for a short time on some surfaces. I had to brush my car off. I need to figure out if my snow tires will work one more season...
Hmmm... sounds awful suspicious to me too... did you see the deed? Is it on the gamefilm?
When I was in school, a guy ike that was cruisin for an injury too... everybody'd be goin' out of there way to take a whack at a dirty player...
I played center with a lengtwise fracture of my right thumb, two boken ribs, a seperated shoulder and a knee brace... dumb... I'm payin' the price today...at his age, I don't recommend letting Corin Jr do more damage with that kinda break...
Hey! the stinkin green cloud of suspicion comin' off'n me wuz nuthin' compared to the Lutefisk... s'there!
Are we allowed to write an outline / synopsis before the thing begins?
I think outlines/synopses are allowed. Re-writes start in December so this is rough draft only. ...and my rough drafts usually suck swamp water.
Thanks Hair... I can always count on you to say something supportive...
What do we do with the re-writes? I need to go back and read the rules, I guess...
Speaking of sinister plots. Supposedly the Richmond police have pulled over a van. Just getting partial reports, but heard about 15 minutes ago that there was a lot of police activity at one of the major intersections in the West End...
Dunno. If they had a schedule for December, I didn't see it.
