Keep It Simple
Right now I can’t get this song out of my head. I guess I’m longing for either a simpler life or to dye my hair. I’m not sure…
No Doubt – Simple Kind Of Life
Uploaded by UniversalMusicGroup. – See the latest featured music videos.But I don’t see either happening at least not this month. Are you longing for something a little different in your life at times? Maybe it’s time for a slow down. Think you can find the time? Tell me how.

Dance for Joy
Hello peeps. I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving. Mine was fun and filling probably too filling.
Writing update: It’s now the end of November and I know I won’t be making my NanoWrimo goal. Yes, it’s sad to say but this month got away from me with the new freelance gig at The Loft and with the Dear Twins college application process.
But in better news there was light at the end of the college app tunnel and we all got through it. The Applications are done and submitted! Whew. I think we all are a bit beat up and exhausted from the process (Ok I’m beat up and exhausted) but so happy to be done. Now is the waiting game. Isn’t that always a general state of life? But I’m feeling hopeful that there are good things in store. So for now I’m going to do a little happy dance like the beautiful Ms. Josephine here and give thanks that this part of the process is over.
Now back to my room and my regularly scheduled writing program.

Did You Hear It?
So I was doing my DD dance run and this came on the radio and I couldn’t stop smiling. Why did we stop being so carefree that we no longer wear tutus over leggins? I’m calling for a comeback. Turn it up ya’ll it’s Friday!

All Wet
Oh I’m feeling like these leaves about my NanoWrimo challenge. All wet and scattered and left behind. I’ve got some serious catching up to do. I don’t know where I’ll be come November 30th but I’m still moving ahead and hoping not to be blown away.

Hanging at The Loft
Hi Friends!
Fun news today on ye old blog. Just to make November a bit more edge of my seat thrilling with you all know college apps, NaNoWrimo, Thanksgiving etc… I’m now part of an exciting new launch called The Loft.
It’s a new Facebook page from Macmillan for contemporary women’s fiction, romance and chicklit where I’m the moderator! And you all know how much I like to talk so this should be fun for me. I’m so excited for this new launch where we’ll chat about all sorts of goings on in women’s fiction and chicklit is not a dirty word! Please stop on by and “like” The Loft on Facebook. Please join in the discussions so that I’m not talking to myself. LoL.

I wonder what he’s thinking? Hmm… maybe about the characters I put on his corner this week? Yeah, I’ve been spending a lot of time in his part of town (at least in my mind I have) or is it a her? Do we know? Something to Google maybe.
Either way today I’m thinking about the conversation a couple of my characters had very close to this lion and all the real life conversations that have happened in the very same spot. If only this lion could talk, oh the stories he would tell.
Hope your week is going well.

Exclamation Nation!
Happy Monday everyone!!
I know what am I doing going getting all exclamation point happy about on a Monday? Don’t ask me because I really don’t know. It’s Monday and It’s November if I could, I’d slow down time so I’d have more for college apps with the dear teen twins and more time for Nanowrimo, but as you all know, time don’t wait for no one so here we are on another Monday so…!!! Take them for what they are good or bad.
I hope you all had a good weekend. One of my highlights was the DH and I started back with our church bowling league. Yep, it was time to pull out the old glittery ball and dust off my clown shoes.
On the up side I started out great, but by my 3rd game I was a hot mess. Here’s hoping I improve this season as much as I did last. I was honored to receive a most improved award for last season so that’s not too shabby. Goals are good! Darn there goes those exclamation point again. What’s with them on Mondays?
Best,
Kwana
