Happy Halloween for yesterday everyone, especially all you scaries, non scaries and scared, hee hee.
So how was Joseph??
We have no idea as Lee Mead was out of action due to an injury, so we had the choice to watch Lewis instead, or get new seats for December 3rd.
We always found Lewis a bit wimpy and annoying on the original show where they searched for a ‘Joseph’, so there was no way we wanted to waste tickets on him.
Oooo that sounds so mean doesn’t it??
See, I’m working on the scariness.
Grrrrrrrrrr.
So, instead, we went to Covent Garden and shopped… (My poor Dad. Thanks Dad. We really do appreciate it.)
And we saw these…
And they came from here…
And Miss E did a lovely Halloween pose embellished by moi…
And we saw this amazing singer who I filmed a little bit of, but I have no idea how to put a film on my blog except through Youtube, and if I do it that way IO can’t seem to add words to it…. Bugger.
So, we had a fab day, even though we’d have rather spent it watching Lee in a loin cloth, (whether in Joseph, or just, you know, wandering around.) And now we have another fab day to look forwards to, in fact, maybe two fab days as the December show is a night time one, so we might stay at my sister’s flat in Brighton and spend some time with her too.
Hooray.
Ok, nearly there with this, hope it’s not been too dull but I am hurrying as NaNoWriMo starts today…GULP.
My big sis Claire is at this moment wending her way to New York as she is doing the marathon on Sunday.
I am so proud of her.
She’s off to Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant on Friday, so if anyone sees her, she’s the gorgeous English bird, in the nice shoes, with the tall handsome Daren next to her. Give her a hug for me will you?
Ta.
And finally,
It starts today. So I have to post this and write 2000 words and it’s 9.00pm already and I have a 50 000 word novel to try to complete (first draft only) by November 30th.
Arggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Wish me luck.
I will still try to post everyday but I may not get chance to visit you as often as I want to, but I will try I promise as you lot keep me going.
If I’m brave I might post extracts on here from time to time so you can comment, laugh, advise etc if you want to…
See you all soon.
P.S. Cami, Kim and Troy are Nanowrimoing too. So good look guys, let’s kick some nanwrimlm;lmv;io butt. (Wish they’s picked an easier name.)

Good luck with the 2000 words a day – my advice to you is to just let it all come tumbling out (ie relax) and you’ll hit your daily quota with no probs. Rather you than me!
Have fun with it.

I dashed out a TON of wordies and then called it a noveling day and updated my word count on NaNoWriMo’s site. Oh and I quite agree, NaNoWriMo is sooo unwieldy to type and say, maybe we should give it a new name that’s easier for us to type. Like Bert.

Those pumpkins are amazing! Roald Dahl proportions! All the best with your novel – I’m sure it will end up on the same scale as the pumpkins, large and lovely!
November 1st, 2007 at 5:54 pm
Oh no! All that way and Lee isn’t there. He was on the television the other day and didn’t look too injured! Anyway Miss I’ve phoned several times and texted and only know you are alive through your blog. Don’t forget the real world – you know what I mean! Missing you.
PS I sighed up for National Novel Writing Month but then a CV came through to write and I feel asleep and have done neither!

Miss E is darling!! Best wishes with your novel.
November 1st, 2007 at 7:14 pm
Good luck to you on the writing challenge. I’m too wimpy to try it myself.
November 1st, 2007 at 9:08 pm
You can do it. You know you can.
And we know it too.
Deep breath…
November 1st, 2007 at 9:24 pm
Remember! Don’t edit!! Resist the urge!!
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:33 am
ooh ooh ooh! We’ll just miss you on your revisit as we’re venturing South for Tilly’s birthday treat to Les Miserables on the 1st. I shall prepare the city for your arrival ;o) And have fun writing, I’m gobsmacked by the very thought of the challenge.
November 2nd, 2007 at 3:17 am
now those are proper size pumpkins!!! a great big american-living-in-wales thumbs up!
best of luck with nano! i typed the 2,093rd word at 11:59pm. then the brain switched off, leaving me without the ability to upload the dang thing. then i woke up today and went ‘oh, he he, there it is.’ i be smert.
November 2nd, 2007 at 5:54 am
Good luck with the writing, dear, we’re all cheering for you! At least you got to have a bit of fun, even with Loin Cloth Guy. I guess you can’t have everything *grin*
November 2nd, 2007 at 7:04 am
Good luck JO! You rock. Sorry your plans got changed, but it looks like you had fun anyhow.
so fun to almost see miss E.

tag you’re it
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:17 pm
Mya, I’m hoping to do just that. Thanks babe.
Kim, I hit 2900 before bed last night so I’m happy with that. We can do this can’t we?
Cami, wehey, well done. And Bert is a much better name. We should refer to it as Bert from now on.
Englishmum, they’re amazing pumpkins aren’t they. I’ve never seen such big ones, tee hee. I only hope my novel (pah) wil be as large and lovely.
Ingenioius, I miss you too and I promise I will phone tonight. And yay I’m gad you’ve signed up too. We can all be in torment together.
Thanks Mrs W, I think Miss E is darling too. Thanks for the good wishes.
Cablegirl, you are not wimpy in the slightest. Your little one is still so tiny small, there’s loads more time for you to do it if you fancy it another year.
Ahh thanks RC. Now you just need to get your novel written. You know you should. You’re good.
Thalia’s Child I promise I won’t. I will resist.
Belle, Les Miserables is stunning. Have a fab time and make sure they clean the place up for us. x
Holly, another mad woman. Come be a buddy if you can find us. I’m there, and Cami, and Kim, and Troy and loads more. We must all be crazy. I changed my wordcount but I didn’t upload any yet. I’m a coward. It took me ages to do it though, the site was on go slow I think.
And the pumpkins were amazing.
Jen, I’m still planning on having Loin cloth guy, hee hee. And we did have a good day. I’ve never seen London so calm. I suppose that’s week days and none – rush hour times for you. It was weird.
Corey, we did have a fab time and I’m sure we made the right decision to wait and see Mr ee instead of yucky Lewis. Mr B said that pic covered enough of E for it to be ok. I so want to show off my babies, but we made a decision and I have to stick to it. She’s a cute litte monkey though.
Cami, what, what? A tag, in nanowrimo time? Ah well. I’ll be there in a minute young miss.

Love the photos of Covent Garden, we were there in August. Good luck with the writing, you can do it!
November 2nd, 2007 at 12:47 pm
Good luck, Jo.
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:31 pm
Good luck, you loony bird! More than I can chew, that’s for sure!
