Why are my nights so exciting? No, not like that. And sorry to disappoint, not like that either.

You see it’s these dreams I’ve been having for the past few weeks (could be months now, years off and on if I’m honest) where I’m chasing something or trying to get something done and I never complete the task. Never! Also on top if these task dreams, lately I’ve also been having dreams about the kids and none of them are good either. It’s not like we are visiting Disney or anything. It’s usually school related and no one is happy, DS, DD, DH and definitely not DM (dear mom, me, wah!). So to this I wake in a panic filled with wonder over what they are doing ready to pick up the phone and start in immediately (must put down the phone) or I wake with my heart racing as if I’m on mile 19 on the NYC marathon, still trying to finish my unfinished task.
So now as it stands here I am this morning, more tired than when I went to sleep. Let’s hope I don’t end up like this lady below during today’s writing/editing session because I’ve got to get something finished. Even if it’s only in real life.

Sorry I’ve been so quiet this week. I guess that’s just my way. You know when I’m quiet I’m deep in thought or maybe it’s worry over my current WIP (work in progress) and the silence usually means that the WIP has the upper hand. The darned story getting the best of me. Making me sweat a bit.

So it feels like I can’t seem to spare a word. Not for the husband, not for the kids and I’m sorry to say not for ye old blog. They are too precious locked up tight in some dark corner on my mind not wanting to let go of their friends and come to the light.

But I won’t give up. I have treats, such as candy and cookies and bubble baths and music and well, anything else they might want. I will be victorious and they will come out and eventually play nice.

Have a good weekend! I shall be pampering/coaxing my muse.

May we all have days like this. Hoping to get some good writing done today. I’ve been off writing for the past 2 weeks with the twins at home and Christmas but now I must get back on track. They are still here, but the tree is down and I must close myself off for a few hours a day to fall into the story again. May this be the only obstacle of the day.

Well it’s the last day of November and I’m happy to say I made my self imposed NaNo goal adding 50,000 new words (go me). But with all the new twists and turns this book is still far from done. Sorry I’ve been MIA on the blog but I’ve been saving all my words for the page and that’s where my head has been.

Jack sends you all a good morning today though from his little bed where he spends much of his time guarding me and making sure I don’t stop typing. Have a great one!

All the best,

Kwana

Breathe out. Hope this weekend is filled with beauty, joy and love.

Hey it’s 11/11/11 make a wish!

Have you gotten the theme? Yes, my head is down or at least it should be and the words should be mounting. Mounting I say or is it more like pray at this point?

Though I’m on my trusty laptop. In my mind I’m imagining myself on one of these wonderful vintage numbers writing the book of my life. The one that changes it all.

Hey, what is life without a dream?

I think typing on this pink Royal could make me very happy indeed.

I’d be typing in the pink in no time.

So this crazy October snow that we got has caused one of my baby birds to return to the nest for the week since her college is in a hard hit area and has been without full power since Saturday. And though it’s lovely to have her back home guess what? I got a little used to my quiet little life at home.

I call it a NaNo Whamo coming at the time when I’m in a writing frenzy and thought I had my writing plan all mapped out. It’s like last year all over again. Surely I’m thought of as a bad mom right now to be like you want to sleep where? Well, be quiet about it why don’t you! Oh and hugs kisses welcome home. Yep, I’m a giver.
