I have a first draft, said Princess Haiku

I have a first draft of a new prose novel and have to figure out how to scramble the words and upload it to nanowrimo. I deleted and rewrote 3000 words today since I have some extra time. Tomorrow, I will print it out and let it sit for a month or so and then see what I have.

Students at UC Berkeley are having a protest today, since the Board of Regents has raised tuition something like 30% more. My support to the students. I try to keep my blog a political free place but one thing I absolutely believe in is education. You cannot have a democracy without an educated people.

BTW Thanks to the friends who left comments on my last blog. When I was trying to post them Blogger glitched and they disappeared.

Princess Haiku reaches 50,000 words on nanowrimo

Flash update,

I reached 50,000 words today on the nanowrimo project. Since I have several more days left before the deadline, I am going to write another 10 thousand words so I can tighten up the plot line.

I am going to take a break for a few days so my hands can recover.

It has been wild, unfettered creative fun. I had this idea about a French fantome and a Japanese haiku poet and bringing them together on the stage has been a blast.

There is something about writing along with thousands of other people and with a word meter clicking away that is inspirational.
