The Travelers Inn in Austin h...I LOVE Halloween!<br /> <br />The Travelers Inn in Austin had booked their annual Halloween Swingers Weekend. <br /><br />Jackie and I just started dating, but she's crazy like me so we decided to crash the swingers freak show! <br /><br />Jackie loves to punk other people too, so we got trashed and headed over to Travelers Inn in costume! She was Tina Turner and I was Phil Spector. We got in immediately! <br /> <br />At midnight they awarded best costume to this bizarre old naked couple wearing only Texas A&M hats . I was giggling hysterically when Jackie yelled out, “Mom? Dad?...OH MY GOD!"Steven Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609837368984628002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496267973912420638.post-33913438832029822812009-11-07T09:15:39.901-05:002009-11-07T09:15:39.901-05:00Somehow Jeanne I think you can do this 50,000 word...Somehow Jeanne I think you can do this 50,000 word novel thing.

That bunch of losers.”<br />“Be quiet! Be aware that I am – (music sting in background) – an ANGEL OF DEATH!”<br />“Yeah, well, so am I, as you well know.

You're doing NaNo! I've done it ...Oh yay! You're doing NaNo! I've done it the past two years and LOVED it. I'm sitting out this year as things are still crazy with our new little one, but I'm missing it something fierce and will probably try to make one or two write-ins and just work on some short fiction.<br /><br />Remember, you're just writing a rough draft, it doesn't have to be perfect. Just get the words on paper. If you get stuck, try out Dr. Wicked's Write or Die app. http://lab.drwicked.com/ Always a sure fire way for me to get kick started. The first 5 minutes or so might be total junk, but after that, I'm usually back in a groove.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />(As an aside, I've always had to be done with NaNo before traveling for Thanksgiving, so the past two years, I've done my 50k in a little over 3 weeks. So no worries if you're a bit behind now...still plenty of time to catch up!)What A Cardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06172499250110582833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496267973912420638.post-90123097432292716412009-11-06T11:54:02.035-05:002009-11-06T11:54:02.035-05:00I'm doing it, too - and I'm also behind, s...I'm doing it, too - and I'm also behind, since the last three days, it's been enough of a challenge to get out of bed (I hate being sick any time, but November is the worst!)<br /><br />However this happened to me last year, too, so I know it's possible to catch up. Don't give up! :)<br /><br />P.S.
