I'm totally falling in love with my characters (in ways that I did not anticipate and I can already tell how crazy much revising I will have to do at the end of this month, but I'm excited for that.) I'm having a blast so far--I just hope I can keep it going.Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-34363428113863749762012-11-04T01:46:47.648-04:002012-11-04T01:46:47.648-04:00I just realized I forgot to comment on the segment...I just realized I forgot to comment on the segment you shared.

And Lydia does Medical Mondays--she posts on all kinds of weird/creepy/violent medical questions that writers need answered for their WIPs. There's a huge archive of them on her site. <br /><br />And my theory on the moving is to set a high goal so I'll do any at all. Some is better than none! And I'm thinking about this month as a time to set some good routines in place.

As for the moving thing, I hear ya. My knees, arms, wrist, neck, everything are really starting to scream at me for all of the sitting that I've been doing. I keep meaning to work in some yoga or something, but getting started is always the hardest. Especially with NaNo going on. (I'm revising the WIP you read AND writing the other WIP--crazypants.) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing both of those posts too. I went and read both of them and then promptly followed them too. :)Jaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-71764052152282852352012-11-02T16:50:04.713-04:002012-11-02T16:50:04.713-04:00I'm so glad the TU (one of the papers from whe...I'm so glad the TU (one of the papers from where I grew up) covered my friend's story--when I heard about it, it made me just want to run around hollering "Can you believe what Becky did???"

And I mean, knowing her since we were toddlers, I can tell you: she's awesome, but she is not actually superhuman. So she was freaked out and exhausted and probably uncomfortable and achy and hungry and a million other things while all of that was going on--and she did it anyway. Hearing her story is making me realize that about emergency workers and all these heroes we keep hearing about: they are, basically, ordinary people. Really brave, dedicated, caring ordinary people. It's easy to label them as heroes and secretly assume they have some kind of superpowers, but they don't--which I think is a kind of challenge to the rest of us to step up our game, you know?Mrs. Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081113623522933830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671037899293269779.post-39146019444234237922012-11-02T15:31:01.748-04:002012-11-02T15:31:01.748-04:00Thanks for sharing about your friend.

We watched the news coverage of the storm way up here in Canada, but these are the types of inspirational stories that ultimately should be passed on and remembered. Glad to hear NaNo is off to a good start for you and hope it continues on that way :)Erin L.
