NaNoWriMo Month! What Have I Done???
I’ve done it. I’ve taken the leap. Argh, what have I done? I should be committed! I’ve signed up to write a 50,000-page novel in the month of November under the auspices of NaNoWriMo, a.k.a., National Novel Writing Month, which is sponsored by The Office of Letters and Light (OLL). Which means what exactly? NaNoWriMo is the excuse so many of us need to write the stories that have been flitting across our minds, taking up room in our subconscious, pecking away at our procrastinating fingers. It’s an opportunity to at least make a start at writing down our ideas and who knows, with all the support and promotional efforts, maybe we’ll get farther than we could have ever expected. “Founded by freelance writer Chris Baty and 20 other overcaffeinated yahoos in 1999”, when last year’s NaNoWriMo concluded, there were over “36,843 writers who wrote 50,000-plus” words in 2011. It’s incentive. It costs nothing to sign-up. Although there are plenty of links requesting donations. There are no penalties if you don’t achieve the 50,000 words the writing marathon requests. NaNoWriMo is simply a committment you make to yourself to sit down and write for 30 days at 1,667 words per […]

Book Review: Melinda Wells’ Killer Mousse
I received this book for free from the library in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Killer Mousseby Melinda Wellsin Paperback edition that was published by Berkley Sensation on February 5, 2008 and has 320 pages.Explore it on Goodreads or Amazon First in the Della Cooks mystery series revolving around the widowed Della Carmichael stepping into her first cooking show. My Take I loved the homeyness of Wells’ writing. Her descriptions of the exterior of Della’s English cottage and the in-and outside of Lulu’s — oh!! She’s got some great-sounding recipes that I can’t wait to try out. I had to sigh…gag?…a little at Della’s decision to investigate the murder herself. Too cheesy…oops, guess I’m playing into this theme… Too soon. Too easy. It would have been more believable with more drama and tension if Wells had held off until there was a real threat such as the death caused by the use of her knife when Halls seems to think it’s an open-and-shut case. Even if it is too lame for Halls to leap on her. I do like Della raking D’Martino down for his ageism. […]

October 31st – Be-aware of Book Review
The last day of the Haunted Week reading challenge is a review of a scary story of my choice. But what would be horrifying? Lousy proofreading? No character development? An emotionless tale?
