Thanks for the memories

Everytime I see the signs in a fast food drive through saying that they can't serve "walk up" customers, I think of 1997 marching season.

And then I wonder if those signs are partially our fault. It was fun, though!

Countdown to NaNoWriMo

Quiet day of reading and resting ahead. I can start writing at midnight! I know how my novel will start and end, and I now some of how it will flow, but I am hoping that it will just run out as I type.

This will be a great challenge for my creativity.

Abs, I need you to keep me on track!

Farewell, Mr. Stevens

We'll miss you, Mark, but I think we are all relieved that your battle is over. No one deserves to suffer as you did.

Love,

Amanda and the DHD crew

PS: Proud of you for taking the last of your strength to push that rabbi away. Even in the end you stuck to your beliefs and convictions.

Inspiration #2

Untitled

He's in my mind
and he won't leave
crowding thoughts
haunting dreams
he comes unbidden
in my time of need
I just don't need him
though we laugh
and love
in the night
I am happy
I wake in my bed
and feel the guilt
as reliving the dream
overcomes me
I don't love him
I don't want him
he's gone
for good
but when he creeps in
I can't shake him
smile and touch
burned into me
I crave my sanity

Inspiration #1

Distraction

Turning, turning
the mind is churning
the world whizzes by
no time to cry
yet I do
can't concentrate
everything's blurry
I hear her speak
half sentences
my mind wanders
colors run
I jolt back
then I'm off again
maybe I'll finish this later
most likely not.

And the plot thickens!

I have a NaNoWriMo idea!

Beer.

The hard part I think will be waiting until November to write it!

It must be a sign

I could have sworn I saved a copy of my "book" on my flash drive.

Apparently not.

With the laptop entirely dead, there is no way for me to retrieve a copy.

I guess that means I start from scratch.

It was probably for the best.
