HELP! PLEASE! NaNoWriMo Not Going Well-O

I'm up to 30,626 words on my NaNo Novel so I'm feeling reasonably smug.

The thing is, I am running out of material. They say you should Write What You Know. Well, 30,000 words is about as much as I know, and so now I'm stuck for ideas.

So this is a shameless call for help.

I need stories of blind dates, on-line dating, internet chat-room conversations, chance encounters, speed-dating, etc... the more embarrassing and hilarious, the better. My main character, in tr…

More Friends than a facebook junkie

Can I just say...

Wine Makes Mummy Clever

Hello!!

The line on my tshirt comes from a book called "Great Lies to Tell Small Kids" by Andy Riley, who also wrote "The Bunny Suicides" books. They're HILARIOUS.

I used to have a blog called Wine Makes Mummy Clever but it got stale so I started over with a new one, but kept my tshirt. I ordered it from an online, design-your-own tshirt website. I emailed Andy Riley's publishers when I first borrowed the line and asked if it was OK to use for a blog title... they never wrote…

At least it's not a koala-bear

As a Canberra girl it's killing me a little to have the Sydney skyline as my banner, but the options were limited. For the sake of NaBloPoMo, and to identify myself as one of The Aussies, I'm prepared to make these small sacrifices.

only just got around to adding you--thanks for adding me to your blogroll.

whew, NaBlo is turning into a job unto itself...which makes me all the more awed by someone doing NaBlo and NaNo.

look forward to reading more on L.S.C.!

I look forward to reading more of your blogs.

Painting is definitely the way to go with Calamine Lotion... makes a lot less mess unless like me, you accidentally tip over the bottle! :)
