project for week of 12-13-10

The other week I went out with Erica for lunch. We ended up walking down to B&N and looking at the craft section. I found this amazing book about a guy that created a skull everyday for a full year. After looking at his site and some other 365 project I have to admit I was envious of the creativity that these individuals experienced. So I sit up my extra room as a craft room. my first project was creating paper doll models. I first draw them on normal paper, and then traced them on a thicker blue paper. These are going to be the templates for a larger project I have in mind.

NaNoWriMo in less than a hour!!!

so my day was spent watching TV-- hiding for trick-or-treaters (no one even tried us)--doing slight clean up from Halloween cookie/makeup mess. about an hours a go I started organizing the books I got the one's unpacked (not in the books shelf) alphabetized A-M, N-R, and S-Z-- oh and separated fiction from non-fiction. Had no desire to place in the book shelves... well because they're in the basement and it's cold.
tomorrow's plans:
walking the dog
making a nice really breakfast with pancakes and hash browns
quick clean of the bathrooms
paying rent (this should be fun)
and vacuuming
Oh-- and writing you know that thing.
the idea is if I'm not writing I'm cleaning or doing something else boring and adult. I may even unplug the Internet. I'll let you know how it goes.

Share with us: What is the first sentence you write for NaNoWriMo?

White Rabbit and good night!

Wow it's been a year...

It's been a year since my last entry. I'm going to try yet again to do NaNoWriMo. This time around I have created an outline (33 points) We will see if this is a helpful tool or not. I've never tried writing something with an outline in mind--but it was important for this story because I'm adopting someone else work. I have to admit last year fantasy book did better because I didn't have a plan for it- I created twists and turns that I wasn't excepting.

share with us: So tell me how do you normal start a project... do you have an outline, a scene in mind, or character? Or is just writing and see where the characters take you more your skill?
