I've come to a bit of a block with my NaNoWriMo novel. Though I have been writing as furiously as possible I'm still well under any 20,000 word mark. I tend to get lost in my own descriptive imagery. And I guess I have also allowed myself to be distracted by other projects but only because I really don't have much else to do during this season. This weekend I'll be hitting the recording studio with my newly forged band. We've been on hiatus for the past six months and pursing our own individual endeavors. I am a bit anxious and nervous to get back into rocking out but I know it'll go over well enough.

 Oh and I believe I'll be putting the finishing touches on my latest poetry book today and uploading its e-book counterpart. It is titled Quantum Quench. I consider it to be somewhat of a transitional work for me but it is still just as much a part of me as are all of my written works.

 Stay loose and keep on rockin'!
 
 Day six of NaNoWriMo and I am nearing the 10, 000 word count mark. I never actually though I'd write so much in just one week. Okay, I kind of did but now I have verifiable proof that I can write pretty darn fast when properly motivated. So far my novel has an interesting plot going on. It reads pretty well too. I don't think it will need very much editing once it is completed.

 The weather in my home city has been agreeable. Cold but agreeable. I prefer cold weather over hot weather. I am looking forward to Thanksgiving because I do have lots to be thankful for this year and I am developing a craving for turkey meat, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pumpkin pie. Mmmm!
 
 Halloween came and went. I've never really considered Halloween to be an official "holiday" but I suppose a lot of people do. Or don't. I am currently participating in the National Novel Writing Month challenge this year. Pretty much just trying to write out an assemblance of a novel with a minimum of 50,000 words. So far my story seems rather... unique. It's not at all what I expected but then again I wasn't expecting much. I'm really just going with the flow and allowing the words to pour out. It is quite exhilarating! I'll see about posting a preview of it perhaps in the following days.

 A new book of poetry has also poured out of me. I actually started writing it about a month ago. I've titled it Quantum Quench. The title represents my own perspective of time and its seemingly infallibility. A lot of the poems are short and straight to the point. I suppose I'll publish it sometime soon; maybe even simultaneously with my new novel at the end of the month.

 Stay cool and groovy! :-)
 
 Halloween is tomorrow and I believe I might just dress as a starving artist of sorts. Won't be much of a stretch for me. I got an image in my head of half Van Gogh and half Picasso. Maybe I'll just dress how I think Van Gogh might dress if he were alive today. Yeah, sounds like a good plan.

 On November 1st I shall be participating in NaNoWrimo for the second time. It stands for National Novel Writing Month. The only requirement is to devote the entire month to writing a novel of 50,000 words or more. Doesn't matter if it is a crappy novel or the next great novel of the century. The main goal is to write like you've never written before! To learn more please visit www.nanowrimo.org
