Okay...two confessions actually, though one is mine and the other should really be confessed by my dog, Loola-Dean.

First, I have more or less given up on NANO this year. Perhaps it was foolish, but I decided to learn to play guitar the very day that NANO starts....guess which one is causing my fingers to hurt more.

Whatever YOU think, the way I choose to look at it is: November is NOT the only month I can write a book, however, it was the 1st of November that my dear sweetie bought me a guitar and I'd rather let the rest of the world down than to see disappointment in his beautiful grey eyes.

So shoot me. I already know how to play a bunch of cool sounding stuff...and will soon know a whole lot more, so pfft.

(And I wasn't joking about the fingers! They are KILLING ME!)

Now for my second hand confession.

Loola-Dean is in heat. So what, right? Um...you might think so, until she tries to perform oral on YOUR foot! And I thought it was gross when she just sat on them!

Do they make those KY finger thingies for dogs? Seriously. Loola could sure use one. My toes are not impressed.

To my writer friends...I'm thinking May or June might make good NON-NANO NANO months. What do you think?
