So things are cooling off quick.

Here in New England, the temperatures for October are set to go down to the mid 40's or lower. Winter is definitely coming.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Game of Thrones is one of my favorites, go Stark! 

Once Upon a Time is back this fall as well, incorporating the Frozen characters Kristoff, Anna and Elsa. Shh. the Frozen giant snow monster made it's appearance too. 

Captain Swan all the way, by the way. 

Because Killian Jones is the best. 

The Walking Dead comes back to AMC on October 12th at 9pm as well. Excited for that. 

Now that October is in our midsts, I figured it was due time for an update. There will be more updates about crafting and writing regularly starting October 3rd. 

Right now, I'm reading On Writing by Stephen King. It's refreshing as the NaNoWriMo season is heading towards us quick. A exact month until that marathon begins. 

Follow me on Twitter at paula_pita for more updates. 

So. I won Camp Nanowrimo 2014

Yes.. I won. 
I was around 200 words over my set goal and I nearly cried. 

Before November, however, I've been doing a lot of crocheting and baking and even some cooking.

Like Apple Pie. I'm in the autumn mood set already, and in New England, it's apple picking season. So be prepared to see a lot of things apple related, apple pies, apple jam.. maybe even some apple jelly. MAKE ALL THINGS APPLE. No lie... I cut up 13 cups of apples... and the two pies only took 4 cups together. So many apples.


There will be regular updates on this blog, from here on out, providing nothing happens to my family.. or we run out of things to make or do. 

I might also try to make my own pumpkin spice coffee... because caffeine <3

Don't kill me, guilt monkey.

I promise to catch up on the prompts that I promised for yesterday technically, because where I am, it's 2:05am.

We had to run errands early in the morning and I was up until 4:30pm, just sitting around. It became me trying to keep my eyes open, so I wandered to my domain and proceeded to nap until 8:30pm. Plus I tend to do my best writing at night when everyone in the house is relatively quiet. Night owl over here.

Okay. so Camp NaNoWriMo. I am now participating, attempting 25k words in 11 days. I'm insane, thank you for noticing. Just like now... I should be boosting my pitiful word count from 506 to well beyond 5k. But here I am... updating the blog.

So.

the first prompt ever of this blog will be... RAINY DAY.

This works for my novel.. because well... it rains in Seattle... and that's the location I'm working on in the novel.

You can pick the time length, myself personally a half hour. I'll check back in at 3am.

Love for now.

who... should really stop staring at the NaNo forums now and write.


Alright, it's now 3am. I brought my word count up to 615. Something is better than nothing, right?
Next prompt will be up shortly.

Sorry about the lag today, everyone! My morning was super busy and I actually fell asleep around 4pm, waking up approximately at 8:45pm.

We'll start in twenty minutes.

Hello everyone!

My name is Paula and I thought the internet needed another source for word prompts. Because guess what? This blog is mainly directed towards aspiring writers, to provide inspiration.

Need me to elaborate a little more?
..
Each hour from 5am Eastern Standard Time to 10pm Eastern Standard Time, I will be posting a new prompt to encourage you to reach your daily word count.  I had suggested a master prompt thread on NaNoWriMo.org in the forum for Word Sprints and Prompts, but the ever so gracious Heather Dudley, suggested that I link to it offsite... so I wouldn't crash the forums. I was absolutely thrilled with this idea and well.. here I am.

Below, I'll provide links for Heather's nanowrimo.org page as well as my own. Don't know what NaNoWriMo is? I'll provide a link for that website as well.

 But basically in a nutshell, it is the non-profit organization that encourages aspiring writers to pen out fifty thousand words in a month... the month of November. That time when the leaves are changing (this depends on your location), the holidays and yummy food. Because.. if you participate in this awesomely insane idea.. by December you'll have the first draft of the story swirling around your mind, the draft you didn't have before. NaNoWriMo provides many resources all year long, various pep talks to keep you encouraged and writers you can talk to. James Patterson even provided a pep talk that was sent via the site's messaging to all participants. I .. can honestly say I squealed in happiness when I read it. It was wonderful.

So to wrap things up before the links take center stage, I will be planning a post for tomorrow, a prompt ... or more for each hour between 5am and 10pm. The prompts have come from the NaNo forums, the Nanowrimo twitter profiles, my brain and other resources. I will credit all due sources.

Your loving rambling addict

Paula. (or Penguinn) if that's more your style.

Linky TIME!
