About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

NaNo, once more; what else?
I hope this wasn't a Friday the thirteen event, but I couldn't help myself. I went back and made the first chapter second, then added a first chapter as told by the main character. Yes, I know who my main character is now. The first chapter is not as attention grabbing as before, but this is the right way to do it. If I hadn't done this, I couldn't have gone ahead with the story. Now I have a main character and a story that is shaping up around her. Just keeping my fingers crossed.

After the 50,000 or the finish, I have to make the first chapter more exciting or interesting in some way to draw better reader-attention.

I finished reading Famous Writers School. Clever novel. Entertaining and about what we all like in this site.

Even so, I wrote my daily portion of NaNo. I'm also doing other things in real life that I am responsible for; except the house cleaning has suffered a bit, but then, it is the first thing that suffers under any other emergency. I have to write faster after this, since my kids changed their minds and are coming down for Thanksgiving. They had originally said they had too much to do, so they wouldn't be coming. Although I had dared NaNo partly because of that, *Laugh* I am really happy they're coming.

Then, I'm glad I doing the NaNo thing because, even if I will be busier after the 22nd, I will probably finish most of the novel. It is going faster than I gave me credit for. Just let's hope so! *Rolleyes*

And another thing, I hadn't blogged this loyally before. *Laugh*
