Let's see. What's the laziest way for me to post?
Link to something I already wrote.
And add this ambiguous picture of something I am currently writing about. Everyone wants to get to the water first, or, well, eventually.

When all my five and country senses see...and type
I see that it has been almost a month since I last posted, but I have an excuse (well, many excuses, like "I am a liar who does not keep promises.")
Nanowrimo wrapped last Friday night and I finished (i.e., submitted 50,046 words) at 11:09 pm. My goal initially was to write 1,500 or so words per day. This would solidify my daily writing practice. Ha.
By November 25, I had only typed 13,000 words. It became Heidi's Nanowriwe--a frantic race of typing and no sleep. The goal changed to typing as fast as possible to see what would come out. Surrealist automatic writing experiment, or insane compulsion?
The really important thing is that I am a winner (along with 15,333 others). And I now have 80 pages of Wordspew, 5 or 6 new characters (depending on whether one is dead), a ranch and a bar (do I ever come up with new settings?) and a bunch of writing about Seattle that I might be able to use.
Silas is waking up so I have to wrap this up. But I wanted to at least keep the promise to myself (amidst my meandering, obsessive reading of Elizabeth Hardwick today) of posting.
