So I kind of broke down last night. Well, writing wise that is. Like I said, the book I’m doing for NaNo is one I started a couple years ago. I only got 30 pages in, and I’m sure a lot of it needs to be trashed. So basically I’m keeping the idea and starting fresh. Anyway, last night I started reading what I had written before and realized that yeah, it’s a great premise, but needs to be rewritten.
Sooo… yes, maybe it’s cheating a little, but I decided just to rewrite the opening paragraph. And I did, and it sucked. So technically I still have nothing. I think I’m getting a little rattled, because I know this book is being written especially to be subbed to NY. It needs to be absolutely the best book I’ve written yet. The opening scene has to hook an editor/agent from the first sentence or I’m screwed. I can’t wait until page three to hit my stride. So yeah, I’m obsessing a bit. I know there’s that whole go back and fix it later bit, but I tend to need that great opening line to build the rest of the book.
All right, no more writing talk. I moved rooms yesterday. I moved upstairs, and boy did I get a workout! Anyway, I’m in a smaller room, but I kind of like it. It’s cozier, and there’s less spiders. And now Emma and I are closer to the bathroom. We woke up, and I dragged her to her potty chair where she did a very nice fill up in it! YAY! She got a Little Mermaid sticker today. We’ve upgraded from My Little Pony stickers. Thanks everyone for listening to my potty training stories, and giving me lots of great stories and comments!
On a healthy note, I’m going to sign up for Curves again today. Yup more money I shouldn’t be spending, but my jeans are tight and my fat rolls are multiplying by the hour.
Okay here’s the Halloween, freaky pic of the day. Don’t even ask me what it is :)
