Reporting from the daily slog here.
Life is setting into a semblance of a routine, although there's a lot of unpacking left to be done, and the floors need to be mopped again. But still. The weather is gorgeous here, with an average low of 75, and a high of 85. I take Connor outside to look at the nature and play on the playground and enjoy life in the Caribbean.
But the writing is a slog right now, so I needed a pick me up. Happily, I found some posts I found helpful, so I thought I would share them with you, because who doesn't need a pick me up? No one, that's who.
A Season in the Show
And this one:
It Takes the Time It Takes
So there's some wisdom for the beginning of your week.
Anyone up to anything new? How's the new year treating you so far?
If you'll excuse me, I have some words to write.

The Obligatory NaNo Prep Post
I feel the need to post some helpful ideas and links for the coming NaNo season, so here's a bunch of links. I'm posting some pictures of Puerto Rico in between things, just to give you something pretty to look at while you're reading. :D
James Scott Bell has a great post about supercharging your novel with one exercise. The bonus here is it's about big picture stuff, so it's for plotters and pantsers alike. Super Charge your NaNoWriMo Novel With One Exercise
Bell also links to a fantastic article in that post, and I'm going to relink (that's a word, right? If not, IT IS NOW) it here:
Lisa Cron's wonderful article: Story First Writing Second
Chuck Wendig has a really great post on some quick tips for prepping: Welcome to NaNoWriMo Prep School, Word Nerds
Janice Hardy has a great post on Plotting with Michael Hague's Six Stage Plot Structure.
And finally, what good NaNo Prep post would be complete without a random generator?
I enjoy this one at Forward Motion. It's interesting and plot oriented without being so vague it's useless.
So there go you, some posts to get you ready!
How is everyone's prep work coming along? Are we all set? Panicking?
