Some ideas rolling around

Most people know I love to write. I dabble from poetry to short stories, fanfiction, and even novel. I joined NaNoWriMo again. I have 34,448 (my ID there is taiyoukai.nile) already for the month. I have yet to add my newly updated word count for there, which will be higher. Anyone who joins and makes the 50,000 word count, then comments here that they did (you have to divulge your ID there), I will donate $2. Those who are members of InuYasha-Fanfiction.com, I have put a $1… so if you do both, then potentially I will donate $3 for your efforts. It is possible to write that many words, which is almost half the amount of words for a ful length novel.

Since I have been doing that, whatever I finish will be a full length novel. I saw a site that is hooked up with Amazon on self publishing. It is called CreateSpace. I want to try it out once and see how it goes. I might get lucky, or might not.

Amusing

I went to the DuQuoin State Fair this weekend. I had a great time. This weekend, we had our company picnic. I arrived a bit late and missed the free food, but it did not matter.

Just when I thought a fair was a family event, I find that sometimes I can find the strangest things. Take for instance the following pic. Since the “S” is missing, and this typical ride is moderately fast and goes upside down, well… the ride’s name says it all.

I guess for some riders, screaming is not the only thing done.
