Well, I’m not going to make the NaNoWriMo deadline.
I have just over 21000 words in the three part story that grew out of your suggestions.
I’m going to keep working on it because the idea and storyline are good and who knows, it might go somewhere.
Thanks to all who contributed suggestions and woe to those who didn’t: you know who you are.
Way behind. More later.
I always invite myself over, like I did last Thursday night.
Luisa prepared pizza dough in the bread maker and provided toppings, cheeses, sauce, pans, the whole nine yard shebang.
Now going back a couple of decades, one of my ‘hospi-fuckin’-tality industry’ jobs included preparing pizza crusts practically from scratch, so when I got to do my own crust on Thursday, (I got the traditional round pan), all my ancients skills tried to surface, not entirely successfully, I will admit, but sufficient unto the day.
I tried to create a balance, a harmony, of all the ingredients, including, as some forget, the cheese and sauce. These are often overdone, either individually or together. Again, not entirely successful.
However, it turned out great, I got to take home what I hadn’t finished and it was great cold the next day!
Spent a great evening with the family, even though I don’t like them very much (I’m sure I don’t have to tell any of you how they all are), and as usual got to see a lot of Reid’s cool new stuff, whatever it might be.
Didn’t right a goddamn word for NaNoWriMo that day, though.
Until Reid’s finished renovating tnir, my NaNoWriMo updates will be at http://my-nanowrimo2006.blogspot.com/
Good luck, Reid and thanks for keeping good old tnir going this long, all the time hosting us all and all our stuff…
