Wow, that's an impressive reading list. I go through periods of intense reading, but I could never keep up with this pace.

Thank you for your participation in the challenge.

said:

50 years is a very long time though-I prefer (in the great Romantic Tradition) to think it was one individual, every year over the years, now gone on to the Night Shift himself or herself (sigh)
Would make a lovely story, wouldn't it?

said:

Interesting...I didn't know this, but perhaps it was someone from the museum itself? Or a relative of Poe, and it was carried down. You know the younger generation is a bit lazy...perhaps they grew tired of doing it.

Yes, the Fed govt. doesn't celebrate till Monday, but he would be 81 today.

Woww!!! His birthday is today?! He was most certainly a leader in his life and his legacy will live on!

761 Days 5 Hours ago, in response to "RIP TEDDY"

said:

I guess it is just like with Elvis. People attach themselves to another and their hearts break when they have to be called 'home'. Yet, but what better place, so instead of mourning, I choose to honor him by remembering the good he has done...the 'gifts' he has honored us with through his music. Just my thought!

said:

Thank you! It means so much to me to find someone else who cares. I am really taking this remarkably hard; is this how other folks felt about Elvis? The more I research him, the more painful this is. I know he's "in a better place," but what about us who mourn?

Our living room fireplace caught fire Friday evening so we've had no electricity; daughter son in law and 5 grandkids staying in motels. No electricity, no computer access till building inspector validates wiring and insurance adjustor checks house damage. No injuries thankfully! No one home but me and I was in my separate quarters but discovered it in time.

Did not write at all yesterday, stayed out of the house, too noisy with all 5 grandkids home. Writing now while babysitting. Been very blessed this NaNo, the writing always just seems to flow, kind of an entrancement.
Reading:
Sarah Rayne, Ghost Song, an incredibly SCARY (as all of her novels!) historical cum contemporary, just a fantastic story-never disappointed with hers
Barbara DeMarco-Barrett, Pen on Fire, an excellent writing primer with a very useful bibliography

Finished yesterday Terry Goodkind's The Stone of Tears second in the series. Only his second I've read. Mr. Goodkind is an excellent writer whom I rank with my favourite, P.C. Hodgell

50,387 validated on NaNoWriMo.org
The kicker is: I'm on the final day in the old location, I haven't even moved the heroine to the new home out of state yet, so my Novel is probably
NOT EVEN HALF DONE

Posted: 11-15-2009 @ 7:52 am EST

I'm really happy with my current progress (Day 14-15) mainly because the writing is finally going so well, smoothly, and quite like an out-of-control locomotive with no brakes! (Smile) At close yesterday, 35,109K; up at 5 this morning, it's not 8 am yet, I have 36,051. Two youngest grandkids sleeping and I am rockin' and rollin'. I KNOW I'll make it to 50K by Friday afternoon, but I won't be done yet with the novel b/c these pesky critters won't finish the climactic seance and move out of state yet lol! So I'll have a lot to say (or more accurately, my characters will) before I actually FINISH the Novel. The more the better! Then I can return to my half-dozen or so other novels-in-progress.
