One month later, I survive the Titanic (Principia’s musical production this term) and win NaNoWriMo for the second year in a row. I still have lots to do to finish the story (a continuation of my first NaNoNovel last year, the premise of which I had mused but never acted upon for years), but I am more motivated — and marginally excited 😉 — to finish it this year.
Huzzah.
What well-occupied weeks have passed! At risk of sounding diaristic, I recount that I have prepared and created several writing lessons and resources, which, troth; additionally, I have practiced and performed much music. Both disciplines hath made opportunity for storybuilding ebb — but however quietly, progress has continued. Visual development for John Churchmouse tiptoes quietly forward through the pews, and my medieval fantasy novel advances idea-wise as research occurs. Also, this afternoon it occurred to me that perhaps John Churchmouse might visit a cousin who lives behind a carillon.
Time to practice.

Lampoon Lane is now displayed on the main floor of the School of Government at Principia College (across from Human Resources and just down the hall from the President’s conference room).
Today’s theme is transported to you thanks to the letter T.
There occurred T-rific progress this weekend:
Fun fan art for Friday: Jack Frost
But not octoberries. Unless you enjoy autumn-flavored cephalopods. Sounds like fodder for a seasonal sushi joint.
Maybe I should start a weekly wordplay page. (Wednesdays, to triple the alliteration.) Would you enjoy that (or read in the first place)?
The end of September and consequent beginning of the august month of October have brought news and continuing progress.
Results are in for Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. Racing Pajamas did not place, but I am grateful that the books will be donated to libraries somewhere. Seeds will be planted & spread abroad to work in places I know not–and yield fruit.
Project Progress:
This, of course, is on top of a full school/teaching schedule. (Which, I triumphantly add, included designing an annotated bibliography worksheet inspired by The Legend of Zelda.) Fall break begins tomorrow afternoon — a release from academia & the perfect opportunity to accomplish much.
