swallow & owl feathers
i have been completely and utterly swallowed by my book!
im trapped in the belly of the mama whale.
i have bought some white carnations
they are sitting on my writing desk.
my book wakes me up at night
like a screaming baby. i am
on schedule though with
25,000 words. ♥
thanks for everyone who wished me well with
nanowrimo! i am still punching it in the face!
also. these are my owls. they are each the size
of a loaf of bread! i bought them at a thrift
store in wisconsin and then painted them
with pearl paint so they glowed. thats
the trick with brown owls. you can
just paint them pearly white and
they dont mind ♥

the owls are splendid!
I'm so excited your book is coming along well! Any chance we'll get to read any of it? I'm hoping we will!!
Glad your book is coming on well :)
That's such a cool way to make them stand out!
how nice to be utterly enthralled and in the grip of something so important, i hope the words keep spilling forth so readily, (did i say that already?).
i like your pearly owls very much.
you're perfectly safe in the belly of the mama whale.
it's the monster ones you need to look out for..
;)
im sure your brown owls are thrilled with their makeover now you can all see each other in the dark
ooohhh keep writing... I like how you say it wakes you in the night like a screaming baby (!) that is how it is meant to be I think - all consuming. Pretty owls, you find the best things, but best of all you customise them. love and frost. x
oh, i know how it feels to be taken up by a story. my books eat me.
i would love to read your novel; you write so beautifully on your blog so i think you'd be awfully good at story-writing
and your owls look like the colour of dawn in that picture. they are so lovely.
I love your owls! There so pretty in that shade. I understand being consumed by your own writing. Hope we can read your book!
thanks everybody! ;)
i definitely want to share it
for sure when im all done!
hearts & happy kisses
xoxoxo
oh wow congrats on the book! i hope it continues to go well, and those owls are lovely! x
oh congrats on your book!i hope i'll get to buy it one day :)and the owls look very happy with their lovely silvery makeover ♥
Keep painting owls and let those words flow. Books that wake you in the night are good to read and write. xx
good luck with your book!
love the owls + the blog :)
oh, good luck with nanowrimo, dear!
i am doing it as well, i am currently at 40.000, which surprised even myself.
a good november to you ♥
LOVE seeing your owlies!!! I'm glad you liked your little one in the mail with Amy's book. Congrats on your writing! I can't wait to read it. Let's get on with our video chatting soooooon! My screen name is "lauraplex." I think I added your new one recently... xoxoxoxox

Oh, good luck, good luck, good luck, on finishing your novel! I really hope everything goes well. But you seem to be doing just fine so far :)
Your owls are wonderful. I bet they don't mind being painted pearly white like this, because they know how much more pretty they are. I guess, they are a little vain :)
Have a nice day!
MJ
Congratulations on your writing success!
Greetings,
poet
those owls are simply lovely <3
ps. there is an award for you on my blog :)
i love what you've done with these, you're so creative, i love to see what you come up with next.
Love the line:
"my book wakes me up at night like a screaming baby."
That's how I can tell it's going to be awesome.
Keep up the good work for NaNoWriMo!!! Your blog is oh so lovely!
keep going with the nano, i am on 28,000 and struggling! my last chapter was about an owl, funnily enough, but not a nice one ...
Good luck on your book, Whats it about??
Best of luck with the book! Well not that there's much "luck" involved in writing :) I planned to do nanowrimo this year, but my story isn't quite ready to come out yet...
