Stacey: Plus, Judy's parents have made it safely home. But we thought we'd give you a little peak at last week's photo shoot of SuperToasty, courtesy of Judy's father.

SuperToasty hard at work.

Roni: And now everything is settling back to normal...so of course, we have to stir things up immediately.

Stacey: As some of you know, November is NaNoWriMo.

Roni: That would be National Novel Writing Month, for those of you that don't know.

Stacey: Right. 50,000 words in 30 days. 

Roni: Only the truly insane would take on a challenge like this.

Stacey: Which is why Judy, Roni, Toasty, Garren, and myself are all participating this year.

Roni: Like I said, only the truly insane.

Stacey: Judy is keeping track of her word count up in the top right hand corner of the blog. 

Roni: And Toasty has been taking his writing very seriously.

Toasty, hard at work again. We think he's a Type-A bear.

Stacey: Even Garren is taking this year's challenge very seriously.

Roni: He's chosen to write his novel by hand.

Stacey: And he's writing it in a super-secret dragon language that none of us can read.

Garren's novel notebook.

Roni: We've been trying to figure out what it says all day...Stacey's been so obsessed with it that she's already falling behind in her word count.

Stacey: I'm NOT obsessed. I just can't stand not being able to solve a puzzle.

Roni: Yeah, ok. Because that's not the first step of bring obsessed.

Stacey: Look, Roni, a bird. (Stacey points out the window.)

Roni: Where? What kind is it?

(Stacey laughs.)

Roni: Very funny.

Stacey: I thought so.

Roni: So anyway...if any of you are participating in NaNoWriMo this year, drop a note in the comments below and let us know how it's going. There's no reason to suffer through this month alone. Or you can just drop a note of encouragement for NaNo-ers out there.

Stacey: And add Judy as a writing buddy if you want to. http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/participants/judylunsford 

Roni: Her NaNo novel is Indigo and Garren's book, so Garren has been freaking out over every keystroke as Judy's been writing.

Stacey: Yeah, Indigo has to remove Garren from the apartment when she's writing, so it's been... interesting.

Roni: Check out Judy's excerpt on her participant page if you'd like. She put a little bit up about when Indigo and Garren first met.


Stacey: And good luck to all of you NaNo-ers out there!

Roni: See ya next week. Happy Writing!
