Once upon a time, there was a juggler, who happened to be a writer, a knitter, and a bunch of other things..... This is that juggler.

If only I had an Enemy bigger than my Apathy....


So,
perhaps because yesterday was amazing, I have no desire to do anything today. I'm not even kidding.

First off, hanging out with a friend in the morning was fun. It always is. We joked about Barbara and Torso teddy, went to the mall, and then, we went elsewhere, to meet this man.
In case you don't know who he is, his name's Mark Nizer, and yes, he's a world famous juggler.
I got to catch a sold out show, and of course, hung around to meet him after the show.
His nickname is Juggle Boy, and I introduced myself as "The Knitted Juggler"
He asked the important question of course, after that. It's the question that every famous person who's ever taken a moment to speak to me asks.
"Do you knit and juggle at the same time?"
Sadly, the answer is still no. I do not have the ability to do this. However, he was the first person to offer a solution, so, as soon as I buy some pingpong balls, I'll start attempting the art of ping pong juggling with my mouth.
You know, the thing that all juggler's warn people not to try at home.
So, either it's a vote of confidence or a death sentence.

We also talked about the International Juggler's Association, something I wasn't planning on. Then, I realized how mind bendingly tired his life is, as he asked what state we're in. So, now I know that Salem has one, and so does Buffalo! It was great talking to him, and it was fun. It's always fun to meet a pro, you know?

Then, I got to hang out again after with friends. We played at the Arcade, and I got some compliments on my sweater, previously finished that morning, on the way to town.
Gotta love compliments on hard work, lol.

So, after two of us gambled like small children for tickets, and two of them almost died at DDR, we all hung out.
And for the first time in a long time, I was invited to hang at a house, as a friend.
It was kind of great, and at the same time bittersweet. I declined, and hung out in the comparable quiet of the coffee shop in the mall, with a new friend.

Maybe yesterday, I day I used to hate, makes today so hard to do. I had such fun from waking to sleeping, that I can't go back to blah, to doing homework today.

Where are you, my bohemia?

12 in 2012?

Hello there. I hope your day is going well. I thought I'd let you in on some of the Big Picture of my life. It's that point where I start running. My feet will fly, and I will be okay. I know I will. I have to be.
So, today, let's talk Novels. Or, more Accurately, lets talk Novellas.
You see, I can't let down a challenge. In fact, its a well known fact that the words "Bet you can't" or "there's no way" are sort of like magic words to me. If someone puts a challenge out there, I've been known to take it. (I'm looking at you, 27 hats in 22 1/2 hours!)
So, here's the deal.
Starting January, I will be writing 12 things. Novellas, novels, or plays.
There's already a loose plan in place-

January: Remembrance.

I'm not sure how to classify this novella, truth be told. It's not romance enough to be a romance, not sad enough to be a tragedy, and its lack of killing takes it out of the horror genre.

February I will be working on Fool's Love, and setting it out as an April Novella for sale.
March? Who knows.

April will be the play edition of Remembrance, based solely on the counseling sessions.

May: HACK: A Writer's Guild

June: Hearts of Time (Oh Yeah! Series, here I come!)

July:

August: Demonia (This one is very twisted! Thank you, Rene for helping me come up with this!)

September: All Wrapped Up (Christmas Romance)

October

November A Heart Divided (Book three)

December

Oh, if only if only!

Well, back to work on my friends Christmas Present!
