Had to back track and rearrange a few sections.

Need to do some more swapping on the sections I wrote today,
but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

Have to get to homework, laundry and supper now.

Gremlins Out, Time To Write

Wednesday, January 12th, 2011

I have put all the gremlins outside to sit huddled by the door in the arctic Mississippi weather with a word of warning.  They are not allowed inside until they agree not to point out the piles of unwashed clothes or un-cleaned bathrooms, and to stop using a separate coffee cup every time they raid my coffee pot.  Now, the room is a little quieter…the Fashion Fairy is at school imparting her own brand of style upon the school yard, and the Dancing Dragon is, no doubt, writhing in his seat straining with the effort to listen to the teacher explain syllables in a form with which he cannot agree while needing to break out in song. 

Me, the key board, a small black hound baying at the disgruntled gremlins out the window, and a fuzzy white alien in a furry dog suit under the table gnawing on a chew bone, there is nothing left to do but write, and write fast.  The gremlins will find their way back under the door without its weather/gremlin stripping, and the bus will deliver the Fairy and Dragon home at any moment.

So, off to my pretend world of noveling.  Hope to see you again soon.
