Some say she's crazy, and they may be right (she married
me after all). Never mind that she's the mom of
twins babies! Forget that she's on a grant driven deadline to write her
second novel! This woman can do ANYTHING! She laughs at danger where others cower in fear and this weekend she is taking part in
THE 3 DAY NOVEL contest!!!
Now I've attempted the
24 Hour Comic Challenge twice, and grueling as it is, it's not 3 FRIKKEN' DAYS LONG!!!
I have been given a long list of instructions to which I must adhere to for fear of my life. I'll be taking care of the twins for the 3 days and providing the sequestered resident author with meals, coffee, snacks and absolute privacy. It's going to be a big challenge on both accounts but we're a little nutty like that.
So for fun, I will update the Blog here daily with an account of the events taking shape in our modest little home. I will document the muttering and shuffling from behind her office door. I won't be speaking to her about the work; in fact I'll have very little contact with here at all. All I can do is put down my interpretation of events as they happen. The tears. The cursing. The maniacal laughter... All in the name of creative fiction under the most severest of deadlines.
To be continued....
