So November is National Novel Writing Month. Lots of people use this as an excuse to work on that story that's been rumbling around inside of themselves. There's a few parameters, like length, but mostly i think it's so you know you're not alone trying to get stuff out on paper, er, computer, er whatever. If you're one of those people with a story rumbling around inside, wahoo! go for it!
But i'm not one of those people. at least not right now. i think i'll do the opposite. well, kinda. Sometime recently Smith magazine and i'm not really sure who else (and i'm too lazy to look it up) put together a book call Not Quite What I was Planning that compiles a bunch of six-word memoirs. They took the idea from Hemingway's six-word story "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn" and got a bunch of people to send in their memoirs in six words. And i think they did this in November or something, because when i read the book i thought "hmm, i'm not gonna write a novel, but maybe i'll blog some six-word stories or memoirs, or what-have-you." So, i'm getting a bit of a late start, but, that's what i'm gonna try and do this month. So here goes:
Chili dishes piled high. Blogging instead.
