Well, I’ve registered at nanowrimo and now I am an official participant. The challenge is 50,000 words in one month. So far so good. It is 21 days into the challenge and I have nearly 34,000 words. My story is flowing well and the words are coming faster now. I should reach my goal by wed. It is so liberating to turn off the TV and spend my time unleashing my artistic side. I’ll post again at the end with my final official word count. wish me luck.

How I did it: Like any long journey it helps to have a map. unless your an experienced traveler, the more detail you can plan out the easier the trip will be. I recomend starting out with a basic outline. In other words, if you broke down the wizard of oz you might start with something like this. 1 girl lives on farm2 she dreams of something better3 &nbs… Read how I did it…
While in Las Vegas I got a Henna tattoo of a lizard crawling up my leg just above the ankle. It lasted about two weeks, I guess I need to get something more permanent
Your really can’t say you’ve traveled until you can say you have been on route 66. Well, now I can say I have. Saw the Road Kill Cafe, shopped and enjoyed the drive. Spent the night in Williams, Az. Next time I want to rent a Cobra replica (My favorite car) and get my kicks on route 66.
