Hello all!

I'm happy today...for a variety of reasons. First off, there is sun outside. Second, I have a few announcements to share!

1. I'm entering Camp NaNoWriMo in July! I really really really wanted to do this in April, but life said no. (shame on you life.) So, now that my life is a *little* slower, I can try it for the first time!

2. I'm seriously thinking of entering into the "Five Poisoned Apples" contest by Rooglewood. I think I'm going to use it as my Camp NaNo piece, but I have some other ideas as well. I have time still.

3. I think I'm going to table "Rose of Culmore", at least until Camp NaNo is over. I mentioned in my last post that I had a major block that I needed to work through. Well, my female MC has been subject to interrogation and she has revealed part of what her problem is...but she's so emotionally distraught that I can't do any more with her.
(Translated into writer-human language: I  think I found the plot device that I was missing, but it's one of the oldest cliches in the book and I need my own spin. That's going to take a while....and of course I need to 'pack' for Camp.)

Now to get on to what you really came for......

7. What's the strangest dream you've ever had?

Honestly....I don't remember. Those files were often first ones to be erased. 

8. Have you ever traveled out of your country, and if yes, where to?

No....the furthest away I've been is Hawaii. 

If I could travel out of the country, I would go to Nova Scotia/PEI...or the Island of Skye in Scotland...or explore Germany....or Italy....or Poland... 

I can't decide, there are a lot of places I would like to see. 

9. If you wished on a shooting star, what would you wish for?

A handsome man (prince, Mountie, cowboy, I don't care) riding up on a horse in conquest of my heart

😍

10. Would you rather go swimming in Antarctica or camping in the Sahara Desert?

Camping in the Sahara Desert. I can't stand the cold, at all. Though you probably should put me near an oasis because I get thirsty rather quick. 

11. How did you come up with your blog's name?

I was hoping someone would ask this question!!!!!!!!!

The truth is, I'm a daydreamer. A horrible one. As a kid, I lived inside my head a lot. So much so, that almost nothing would get done, and I'd often make a fool out of myself. While as I mature, it's getting slowly better, especially since I'm writing more. 

Hence my writing muse could be considered: uncooperative, annoying, funny. It longs to get away into the realm of fantasy or another time. It works when it wants to, and not when it doesn't want to (and often when it works is when I can't handle it). It never listens to me (though it's getting better). It's like having a rebellious teenager in my head. 

Thus I translate an abstract thought into the name of my blog. 

So let's see...who needs some sunshine?
