In an attempt to rename one of my novels, I stumbled across this:

http://facstaff.unca.edu/pbahls/TitleGenerator.html

It's really amusing. And if I were to, say, challenge my writer friends to write a novel based on the title of the first name generated, I think that we could have a lot of fun.

If I were to challenge all of you to that, I'd have to write: "The Viking Landowner's Captive Marquesa"

What would you have to write?

My computer will not turn on. I have no idea what is wrong with it just that nothing happens when I press the power button. It was acting fine this morning but when I got home from a trip to the mall with the family, it wouldn't do a darn thing.

I am glad that I uploaded most of my current writings to google docs so I can still update them and I know that they are safe but I still hope that it's nott the hard drive. I have a lot of photos and other things that I don't want to lose.

Damn you P.C.

Not a lot to notate for this month.

I've been focused on my work outs and diet and it's been eating up most of my free time. With 40 hours of work a week, gaming every other Saturday evening, and having a 2 year old I don't get a lot of time to myself anymore. Add an hour of work out every night and there goes all my time. I'm hoping after March I'll be able to work out less (just to maintain my weight loss) and focus on some writing.

As far as writing, I'm working on getting my 'office' cleaned up for more creative endeavors. I hung a book shelf my husband gave me and put all my fairy tale and mythology books on it. I made a sign that says DREAM and hung that up as well. All I have left on the agenda so far is to buy a corner desk that I found at IKEA. It only cost $170... Heh. I'll have to save up my monies.

So, it's a new year and it's time to make of goals I want to get accomplished this year. I'll keep it simple.

1) Lose Weight. The plan is to continue to eat vegan-lite and to get more active. I am currently working through the regular P9OX system and I have lose about 1.3 pounds. Despite having a sinus infection which has kept me from getting my work out done the last two days, I think that it's completely doable. Then I want to try the couch to 5k program.

2) Novel Publication. I've been told that my original fiction is very good and that a publisher would pick it up to print. Since I have had several people tell me this, I think that it has to be true. So I plan on editing a novel, probably my medieval-esque werewolf romance novel, and try to get it published this year. If, at the end of 2012, I have not found a publisher, I will e-self publish.

That's it, really. Simple. Although I could throw in an 'update livejournal' in there. :) We shall see about that.

And so it begins... 1,742 words down on day one. 48,258 words left to go.

I start my new job June 20. Woot!

I think that I am going to knit myself a Lotor and Allura doll.

Does anyone want to read my NaNoWriMo entry as I write it? I can try to post it when I am done writing for the day and create a filter so only certain people see it.

If you comment that you do, understand that agreeing to read it means that you promise not to steal my work. Sorry, but it has to be stated as I am slightly paranoid. ;)

The title is Kiss from the Deep and it is a romantic fantasy novel about a young industrious woman who falls in love with a mermaid prince.
