An enlightening blog entry about a musician who decided to follow the 'safe' route and go to university.  These days I have been considering my options while I wait for news from recruiters, whether good or bad, and wonder what it is that I truly want to do with my life. 

has been bitten by the writing bug... ;)

Feeling inspired after a talk with my supportive husband and am in the mood for writing.  A new story on my mind and for once - I have nothing to interrupt the momentum!  All I can say is that this will be a long one.Looking forward to this Valentine's weekend.  Not sure what to expect but planning to spend some time with Steph. Nothing else knew to report.  I suppose no news is also good news!

blurb

Finally self-published my second book - of which I would like to send the profits to either the Save a Sato organization or the Worchester Animal League (without either of which I would never have written this story).  It's loosely based on what factual details I was able to obtain about Maya's history.  It's a children's book though issues like death and abandonment are featured.  A BIG THANK YOU to Eun-Ah Park for being my editor on this!

Finally put up the Storyteller site! :D

One small step at a time...Am very happy to have finally posted SOMETHING on my storyteller section of this site.  I've dug up several poems and stories I wrote ages ago.  I've many ideas in my head for stories - and hopefully now that the foundation is there, I'll go ahead and get them out.

Began writing a new story, unsure how it will pan out but more than 3000 words down!

Looking forward to my first American Thanksgiving.  Still need to do quite a bit of baking!  Making the usual delicacies to take to Lisa and Julian Rex's house tomorrow.  Visiting Newburyport for a second or third time!

Re: Nanowrimo - failed miserably as have gotten side tracked with reading books, house affairs, hunting for cars, and looking after the gorgeous Maya!  Nevertheless, haven't given up hope yet!

Started writing for the month of November!  Decided to take part in the National Novel Writing Month.  Their website is excrutiatingly slow (or it's my internet connection).  But somehow with a strange mixup - I can't access my original userid "dmdealwis".  So until it gets sorted out I'm using "orchidilla".
