Age of Aquarius, Hero vs Badguy, and I Write Therefore I Am

It has been awhile but since I had a few minutes on this Sunday afternoon, I thought I would sent an update on the last few weeks. It has been quite busy with the Joneses as I am sure it has been with you.

Just this weekend, Ashley decided to participate in Locks of Love and had nearly a foot of hair cut off and donated to an organization which creates hairpieces and wigs for children who have lost their hair due to medical reasons and cannot afford hair replacement. She is maybe even more cute with her shorter hair, but it is taking her some time to get used to it.

For Halloween this year, Ashley dressed as the crime-fighting hero Batgirl and Ryan was the super villain Megatron from Transformers. After fighting a super battle, the teamed up to find and confiscate candy from all at one of the malls in Huntsville. And what a team they made. They brought enough candy home to make any dentist proud.



As for me, as I am sure you have heard, I am participating in this years National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and trying to bring that writer in me out into the open. The link above takes you to my page on the NaNowriMo webpage and as of this posting my word count is just under 10,000 words after 6 days of writing. 10K is 20% of the final goal so I have to get shaking if I want to complete the task. The characters are starting to come together and the plot is shaping up as well. I haven't been able to claim a genre yet, but I do plan on putting an excerpt out there soon to give you a little taste. I do have a working title: "The Other Side of The Coin". Also anyone wanting to participate in the editing process in January (after I tweak it a little myself) drop me a line and I will send you a copy to peruse. I am not expecting an award winning production, but I do want to be able to say that I wrote a novel.

That's it for today, the kids are demanding some attention, so until next time, don't take any wooden nickels.
