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.

I plan to be locked in the writing closet for the next month. November is NaNo National Novel writing month and though I’m not an official participant I still plan on writing as much as I can during that time. Now if only my writing closet was this pretty but maybe it’s for the best that I have the little corner I have. This closet I may never find my way out of.

Are you doing NaNo this month?

What’s Jack up to? Chilling today and I think doing some deep thinking about his new haircut. Hope he likes it.

I’m going to be doing some deep thinking today myself about my current WIP. Let’s home I don’t hurt my brain. Happy Tuesday!

I’m thissss deep in this book (cut to me fingers about this far apart) and then it hits me. A problem a big one. So yeah, I’m back to the beginning. Again. Writing is fun. Might as well play a little music to go with it.
Happy Wednesday!

I have to admit I’ve had a bit of trouble getting of the hump of now having a teen free house. One where I don’t have the 2:30 bell going off in my head. No longer do I have hour after hour where I’m toting a kid from one activity to another or sitting through an event and cheering (ok sometimes reading) from the sides. This is a totally knew me.

ME being the operative word. And a big part of this me that I was looking forward to is the writer part that suddenly has the time to do what she said she was going to do. Try andreally make a career of this thing.

Oh-uh and gulp Scooby Doo. So to that I spend lots of time preparing to write. You know, researching (click, click online), making coffee, more researching, more coffee and then walking in circles.

I’m thinking Jack has had enough. He’s now turned into The Enforcer.

You gonna get to work lady?

I said now!

Ok, I see you’re going to be a problem, so I’ll just park it here to keep an eye on you.

Have a great hump day. Good luck getting over all your humps today.

Well folks I’m leaving the NYC and am off to Colorado for a little summer snow.

Nah, not really turns out I won a cool contest and I’m off for some literary R & R at RomCon,  a conference for fans of romance, which I so am.

So there you have it. A few days of much needed rest, relaxation and book talk. All my faves!

 But just so I don’t get too relaxed I will take my laptop and ye old manuscript with me. Wouldn’t want it to miss me and all.

See you soon!

Best,

Kwana

P.S. Don’t forget Project Runway tonight #teamBert!
