i'm in autumn world here in corvallis, oregon. visiting the ower family. can't wait to watch "motorcycle diaries" at the funky avalon theater tonight (home doesn't have funky theaters that show artsy movies, and this one is supposed to be grand). this morning, the corvallis book babes bookclub had me visit after they read "the salt garden." great time together, thanks gals!
a word about writing and keeping at it, if anyone is at all inclined toward accountability, post your word count here for the previous week. also of possible interest, blogger has made november a novel writing month. you can blog your novel and attempt to finish. it's not for me, but perhaps for you. go to www.blogger.com to get started.
last week for me, nothing to jump up and down, but progress. 4500 words which reached me to a point of printing out all 34,000 words so i can start rearranging things (things as in partial dialogues, bits of scenes, pages of sort of scenes, a one true sentence here and there.... i think i might actually find a book out of this writing experiment which can make me wonder what to do with it then (can't think of that however, no, no, just keep writing -- i will be strong against the fears that are odd and constant companions). so it's printed and with me, though no one knows or would be allowed to look.
i leave for the philippines thursday. will write more about that next week.
well, since i hear people in the other room, off to visit friends. as someone keeps telling me "keep writing" you writers out there. all the rest of you, greetings and go find some autumn somewhere. the perfect season.

I don't have a word count to post for this week, but I will by the end of next week.
Have fun in the Phillipines. My grandparents are going there the week of Thanksgiving. Our church is going on a missions trip--we raised money to build a church there and they are dedicating it that week! Exciting!
