The eco-friendly part of my brain says this is good and prevents a lot of waste (I know frivolous things like specialty wrapped candy isn’t eco-friendly at all) but for those of us who are frugal, and want more for their money, 1/2 priced chocolate day is a happy day indeed.

It was a great weekend. I worked on my consulting website, tweaking a lot of little things to make them better. I knew what I was doing when I started, now I know even more.

Then I set up a new blog for one of my favourite writers, and lets face it, one of my favourite people in the world. Writing as Natas, the Lost Messiah, Mark has a lot to say. Check it out at http://natas.ca. He’s busy posting several items from poetry to philosophical vents and plans to update daily, so check him out.

Today, I re-read another great short story by another wonderful storyteller and need to print off one of mine to put it on the editing block tomorrow night.

Oh by the way, look for my books in the iPad bookstore, they’re supposed to be there as part of their launch. If you don’t have an iPad, you can buy them through Amazon.com (not .ca) for your kindle or thorough Kobobooks.com and Smashwords for other e-reader formats.

Sunday is the start of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) AND half price chocolate day.

What a great boon to all those NaNoers who will need that extra boost of sugar in their systems to get a jump on their word count. Having said that I’m pretty sure with all the socializing, I’ll fall behind over the first few days.

The kickoff is Saturday afternoon which flows into Hallowe’en – which technically won’t interfere with writing time unless you count the sugar rush and hangovers that could result from all the festivities. I’m sure my hands will be shaky and my knees will be weak on Sunday Morning as I attempt to include the Sunday Brunch Writing Prompts at www.Toasted-Cheese.com in my latest NaNo  novel.

Then it’s off to make a quick stop at Waves in New West to hang out with some of the writing folks in this end of the burbs on my way dowtown to hang with the Sunday NaNo social crew. Then it’s off to a friends for dinner and a movie then back home to write (assuming I’m still somewhat awake and coherent). I’m tired just thinking about it.

Good thing there’s all that half price chocolate and candy available.

For those about to write we salute you. Gird your loins, loosen your belts (damn all that half price junk food) perk your coffee, ditch your inner editor and pen, pen that novel.
