Usually I start reading this one on Oct. 12th, because that's the day the book starts. But I figured it was worth reading a few days early this year. I think I'll watch the movie on the 12th, then. <br /><br />Pages read: 128<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4988600462990300642-2733663607081024411?l=squirrelreads24hr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christa the Squirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352154734309666155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988600462990300642.post-43713168892476490382010-10-09T09:00:00.002-04:002010-10-09T09:01:20.636-04:00And to celebrate, I read "Batman Year One".

I'm 3,183 words into my NaNoWriMo book. Original plot line I've been tossing around for six months about phantom pregnancy was thrown out the window about thirty minutes into my writing on Sunday. It was just too confusing to write. I had a beginning and an ending. And no clear cut way to get from A to C.<br /><br />So, now I write crazy sci-fi fantasy that starts out with:<br /><br />Odin and Zeus walked into a bar.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4988600462990300642-6932421536767760601?l=squirrelreads24hr.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Christa the Squirrelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07352154734309666155noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4988600462990300642.post-68580472632988383102009-10-25T00:09:00.002-04:002009-10-25T00:11:43.943-04:00Well, I got a lot farther than I thought I would. I started to fizzle at ten, but at least I made it another two hours. so, that's sixteen hours total. I think I've read the same chapter three times now of "Dewey, library wonder kitty" (or something like that). At least I got about 35 pages in.<br /><br />Time for sleep.

My brain is starting to hurt, so it's off to the store for something to drink and some more ibuprophen (of all the times for me to start getting a migraine!!! Again). Thank goodness for e-books. So, in honor of Halloween/Samhain, I shall listen to some uplifting Poe. <br /><br />I seem to have a weird Halloween theme going on here.
