I did a search for “scary typewriters,” and this is what came up. Cool, yes? Go see this guy’s website. Jeremy Mayer creates robot sculptures using nothing but typewriter parts. He’s got some amazing stuff. http://jeremymayer.com/GalleryMain.as...

Happy Halloween! And to you brave, writerly types, happy NaNo’s Eve! Today is filled with ghosts and ghoulies, goblins and jack o’ lanterns, bowls of candy and scary movies.

It’s also filled with antsy writers waiting for midnight to kick off the big event. Myself, I’m thinking I might have to take a nap today, because I’m old. We’re meeting at 11 tonight at a Perkins so the group can start writing together right at the stroke of midnight.

I’m excited because I’m planning on midnight pancakes. Pancakes in the middle of the night? Why, that’s absurd!

I will probably manage about a half hour of writing before the carbs kick in, and I have to go home to bed. But…pancakes!

It’s also, Wednesday, of course, so it’s Confabulator Cafe day. This week we were asked what we were doing for NaNoWriMo. What? You’re sick of reading about it already? Hold on to your butt. The event is about to start. I won’t have much of anything else to talk about for the next thirty days.

Still, there is something a little new over at the Cafe. I’ve got a short synopsis of Fairies in My Fireplace to share with you. It’s a tiny bit spoilery for book two, but not much. You can find it here: Rebel with a Cause.

I don’t know how often I’ll be checking in with you over the next few weeks. Keep an eye on the NaNo counter on the right if you want to see how I’m doing. Once a week at the Cafe I’ll be doing a sort of NaNo diary thing where you might find snippets of what I’ve written, cries of desperation, bouts of Pixie-Sticks-induced mania, or a delusional series of non sequiturs strung together like seed pearls. If I’m alert enough, I’ll probably post whatever I do over there here, too.

Also, about halfway through the month, I’ll have a post for you over at Here Be Magic. And–bonus!–I have a special guest blogger coming in. So, no matter how whacked out or silent I get, there will still be some things here for you.

Or, you know, it could all go business as usual.  It’s not that many words, right? Maybe I’ll double the goal. Who knows?

Anything could happen!

See you real soon?
