The End of The Road (or The Last of The Prompts)
Can you believe it? November is over today. What a wild, exhilarating ride it's been, too!
So without further ado, here are the final two writing prompts from the kit. (Link posted after the prompts.)
Landing The Craft--This card begins by relating the experience Baty once had while traveling on a plane. He was watching out the window as the ground below seemed to pass by in slow motion. Then a plane passed underneath them going in the opposite direction and it took a moment for him to realize that he was traveling at the same speed as the other aircraft and how easy it was to lose track of the speed. It goes on to encourage you to scroll back and take a look at what you've written over the past 28 days, realizing that you wrote all of that and at a "speed that would make professional writers queasy." It then says that the clunking noise you will hear at the end of todays session is is the sound of your landing gear coming down. "You're almost home, writer."
Returning to Earth--"One of the hardest parts of writing a 30-day novel is knowing what to do with yourself after it ends." It goes on to mention how both men and women can suffer from postpartum depression after having a baby, and how you shouldn't be surprised if you experience a bit of "the blues" once you have put the finishing touches on your book. His advice:"Make the transition from intense creative period back to normal life easier by tackling a few of those nonessential things you've been putting on hold this past month. Go grocery shopping. Call people back. Make appointments. But still, no dishwashing. Please. Let's not get crazy."
Once again, these prompts have all come from No Plot? No Problem! The Kit! which is available on the NaNoWriMo.org website shop.
And there you have it. The end. Finished. All tied up in a neat little bow. Just in time for the holidays even. ::grins::
If you don't hear from me for a few days, don't worry. (Or send me a text message--the link is on my user info page) They're predicting some pretty dicey weather for Thurs & Fri, including ice. And with the kind of luck we've had lately in the electricity department, weeeelllll...I'm expecting the worst. ::nods:: Then if we don't get it, I can be very pleasantly surprised, which beats being unpleasantly surprised if it does get as bad as they're saying. (Um, I'm rambling now, aren't I? I think this probably a good time to shut up and go to bed now. ::giggles::)
Oh, anyone else who is supposed to be getting this ::sarcasm on:: *wonderful* ::end sarcasm:: weather in the next few days--stay safe and stay warm!! (And that safe part goes for everyone, regardless of their current weather temps.)

So where exactly are those snowbots of yours right now--and what are they up to, hmmm??? ;)

And tomorrow here is supposed to be 68 and thunderstorms. We *might* get down to 40s this weekend. *eyes all her new sweaters and sighs*

*Down* to 40s? Damn, we're not even supposed to hit the 40s for a high this weekend. Of course, that does mean that I can go dig out all my nifty Christmas sweaters and turtle necks now. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll get your sweater weather, too. Eventually.
