And then I got a text message from my cousin Devera. She and my mom were finishing dinner at Union Station and have a good time. Knowing that my dear mother wasn't in a large, unfamiliar city by herself about to undertake a grueling physical effort with no support crew lifted a huge weight off my shoulders.
Awesome mom before the Marine Corps Marathon.
I was having wine, veggies, cheese and crackers with my neighbor Vykki and we'd been talking about, well, everything, because we're girls and hadn't seen each other in at least four whole days! NaNoWriMo came up in conversation...oddly as a tangent to a conversation about Halloween costumes. I was dressing up as a one night stand...I mean as one nightstand!...and needed a Harlequin-style bodice ripper. And when you talk about bodice rippers it is natural to talk about how simple it would be to write one. Ha! How we kid ourselves!
And because "a trouble shared is a trouble halved" I suckered Vykki into doing NaNoWriMo with me! We've asked some of our loved ones to submit opening lines, we'll pick one, and then both start our novel adventure with the same line. It should be interesting to see where the two stories end up! Let me know if you'd like to join us! Or if you have a great idea for an opening line!
