My dogs tried to eat my house

How is that for a headline? Unfortunately it's true as well. I don't know if it was Dixie or Mia that did the chewing of the sheet rock but I was not a happy camper to say the least. Especially since this came straight on the heels of Mia chewing the carpet off of my stairs. Argh!!!!

Anyway...

The work. I'm still working on the plot for two stories. I'm still reading and researching for the Hick Novel I'm going to write. And by saying Hick, I say that with the utmost love since most of these characters are based off of my own family members...It's going to be a fun story to write, I'm just trying to decide on structure.

The other major work I'm plotting out is a young adult fantasy novel. I've already done my character sheets. I've got my premise, and am trying to find a way for it not to be so damn sad at the end. The story is complete in my head but I'm going to plot it out like a good girl. I've found that by plotting or at least outlining the major events that the writing stays on course. I know a lot of people don't like to do that, and some even say that it takes the fun out of it. But not me. There are still always surprises. And nice big ones in this story. Just when you think things are going to be all right another alligator jumps into the boat and sends the boat in a totally different direction. At least that is my goal. I want to keep people guessing and because my narrator is a young girl, who is not worldly I think I can make it believable. I am hoping that is the case anyway.

So, Michelle is a busy little girl.

Oh, and go DEACS!!!! We beat NC STATE over the weekend, and went to the game in Raleigh. It was SO much fun. Great game, and the Deacs really had me worried there a little bit. But alls well that ends well ne?
