I have a migraine, so instead of writing a post, I'm sharing a favorite cartoon. And as the month of November draws to a close, I want to wish good luck to those of you participating in NaNoWriMo!

In honor of National Novel Writing Month, I'm posting a nice, distracting video. Take a break from your writing and enjoy! This has to be one of the funniest videos I've ever seen. If you take your writing seriously and have ever run into a non-writing writer (someone who talks a big game but invests no time at all in the craft), you'll get a kick out of this.

Today I'm working on rewriting a story I originally wrote for last year's NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, of course), and I'm reminded once again to KEEP IT SIMPLE.  You see, the story is a mystery - a cozy to be more specific - and it's exciting for me, because it's my first real mystery.  I've always loved reading a good mystery, but writing them never worked out.  Why?  Because I could never think of a good reason to knock somebody off.
