La Bene Vita

A Novel Idea

Y'all, guess what?! I worked on my novel today.   Thank you, Snowmaggeddon, for shutting down my school for two days and forcing me to get bored enough to accomplish this.

You may be wondering what prompted my poll in the Newsfeed about your pronunciation of the word, "Query" (which I'm calling my "query query"). If you haven't yet voted, go here: "Query" 

Meet Mystic, riddling cat and envoy of Air:

Seek not what is not yours to find, said the voice. Do question the thoughts in your mind, if you dare, but take care, for your Sovereign is there. Have you doubt, be you leery or thoroughly weary, then Mystic, true Envoy of Air, may you query.

Penny pushed herself up off the floor, adjusted her glasses, and read through her notes. She added the earlier bullet points. Then she faced the window, prepared to look outside again, but it turned out not to be necessary.

“Oh. Hello,” she said aloud to the black cat with golden eyes who stood precariously but quite confidently on the narrow windowsill - inside her bedroom. “Mystic, I presume?”

That was an excerpt from my novel. Shit's about to get real in the Pennysphere.

I was just curious about the percentage of readers who will recoil and go, WTF, query rhymes with very, not leery!

Quick Goals Check:
  One new novel chapter (or rewrite) per day
If you count 12:30am - 2:00am last night as "yesterday", then I accomplished this for both Monday and Tuesday. Since it's my goals and I get to pick, it counts.
One short story for "The Bradbury"
Two poems for "PromptMaster !"  final January submission
One review
Organize and prioritize all the work projects and tasks I've been avoiding to focus more on writing
Play games all day
Oops... how did this get here?

Peace,
Michelle
