WIP: Searching for Uncle

I seriously don’t have a better title for this at the moment, but oh well.

Here’s the expanded story idea, from my 2YN homework on Forward Motion:

Amanda* and Charles* had a fabulous honeymoon on an isolated island. Upon returning home, they received stunning news: Charles’ brother & sister-in-law died in an accident while they were gone Even worse, to Amanda, her new niece & nephews were coming to live with them. Charles traveled a lot for work, so he inevitable left Amanda home to deal with the kids, but then they stopped hearing from him altogether. Amanda has to explain to the children that she & Charles don’t really live in the real world and that they must search another world for their uncle.

  • Kids, when you have chocolate-mint breath & brown bits in your teeth & you’re saying you’re not eating my candy cane, I KNOW that you were. 11:39 AM Jan 8th from web
  • It figures: I wait patiently all day for the writing assignment, then it’s sent out just as it’s time to pick up kids from school. *sigh* 3:35 PM Jan 8th from web
  • Looking at http://curiouspages.blogspot.com/ about bad kids books. Read most of them as a child. So funny tears are running down my face. 9:44 PM Jan 8th from web

progress this week

I’ve been writing in my paper&pen (p&p) journal daily this week, not only life stuff, but at least 3/4 – 1 1/2 handwritten pages of fiction-type stuff. A character sketch or two, a couple little scenes. Nothing big, but daily is better than nothing. Feeling pretty good about it.

Day one assignment of 2YN on ForwardMotion today. Must write a one sentence description & 50-100 word description of my WIP. Mine sound pretty tame so far, but in my mind are better than my little descriptions, so I guess that leaves room for goodness, right?

My friend Emily and I have decided to do NANOWRIMO this year in the month of February. We’re just crazy like that. Luckily, the nice people at
NaNoPubYe :: National Novel Publishing Year have a forum for all those out there like us who think that November is too insane of a month to write in. Whee!

Tomorrow is the start day. Are we ready? Whee!!
