[mindyalyse]

I'm slowly working my way through my huge October to-do list, so I'll be ready to attack my new novel on November 1st.  I can't wait!  The idea hit one night while I was out having dinner with my girls.  I jotted down lots of ideas and can't wait to dig into some plotting and characterization exercises.  I don't even know what the main character's

We had a lot of wasps this year too :(

I hope you're able to get rid of them without getting stung, Robin.

Yikes on the wasps. We keep getting them in the skylight in our walk-in closet. Just one at a time, but they have to be coming in from somewhere, right?

Our biggest wasp-related discovery though came when we were redoing our living room. Behind one of the walls we found a ginormous wasp nest. Empty, thank goodness, but it was huge. It was three feet long and filled up three kitchen-sized garbage bags.

Wow--inside the house? Scary! And I can't even imagine a three foot long wasp nest. I'm glad it was empty!

Thanks for posting that names link! I always need more! I just picked the names for my NaNo yesterday with the help of my family on an 8-hour car trip from Ohio. In exchange, here is one of my favorite name sites - I don't know if you've seen in before, but it is awesome! http://www.nymbler.com/ I think I got it from a post by Jackson Pearce.

You're welcome, Lauren. Thanks for sharing the nymbler link--I never saw it before.

Yay for picking the names of your NaNo characters! It's funny how much a name can change your image of each character. I can't wait to name mine! I've been thinking about the possibilities, but nothing has hit me yet.
