Five Things Friday: CENTRAL

by Molly Jo Realy @MollyJoRealy

Now that all I can for NOLA is wait for feedback, and given that it’s November, my project of the month is jump starting CENTRAL a la NaNoWriMo. Here it is day three and I’ve only 32 words written, but I think they’re pretty good words.

CENTRAL will be the second in my City Series. You know the drill. It’s really not a series because the characters and storyline are completely different. But using the location as a character is what remains the same. So, I’m affectionately calling it a series, and creating a … read the rest. . .

2017 Prep: My Happy Planner

 

Hey. How’s it going? Mind if I take a sip of chicory? Thanks. Mm. Good stuff.

So. You’re prob’ly wondering why I haven’t posted much lately. Or you don’t care. In either event, I have a plan to change both. I have a plan, and I have a planner.

Ten days til we wake up early and head to the kitchen for a marathon cooking day.
Ten days til we stuff ourselves like no tomorrow, pack up some leftovers and sleep it off in the recliner.

Author’s Notes: When I Get To New York

[For the original article, click here.]

I’ve never been to New York, but someday I’ll get there.

It’s been a dream of mine; growing stronger every day.
Especially whenever I watch the holiday programming.

A few months ago, I decided to voice that longing in detail.
