Crazy Writing festival called November

So it's November 1st and time for me to participate in both the NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). I am more than prepared to participate. I was please in terms of NaNoWriMo last year, because I hit 36,000 words out of 50, 000. I do want to come out this year with a manuascript to submit this year. I am going to write on the other aforementioned projects (the Angry Gondals, Gollumdas Monogatari, et. al), but my focus will be the reloaded Blanche and Rose.So it will be interesting to see me write and them post about writing daily.

Blogs I follow

A blog that I have followed for a long time is 'How I am Becoming an Astronaut.' It is the blog of Damaris Sarria's work at NASA and her preparation to meet her ultimate goal of being an astronaut. The juxtaposition of both storylines are interesting. Damaris is an engaging writer, who supplements this with cool photos of rockets and shuttles.

Her blog is important to be sure because the reality is that we don't hear often enough about women engineers who blog even though they are out there.

Her latest post documents her attendace at the NASA 50th Anniversary celebration where she gets a photo with the always awesome Gene Cernan, last man to walk on the moon.

Bare-Tweetin'

Almost a week since I've been introduced to the virtues of Twitter and I am addicted. I am 'tweeting' and well, reading and 'tweeting.'

I am now playing with Twitter Search and hashtags (#):
