First-draft-mush stage is that wonderful place where my mind swirls with the words I have written and those that are waiting to be typed. I dream of my characters, often in bizarre and scary ways, and find myself talking in the voice of my narrator instead of my own voice. Simply put, first-draft-mush stage is pre-insanity.

The Turds and Critter are left unfed, the dishes left unwashed, and the bed left unmade. I am very lucky that Bubba is so darn supportive; he takes care of all this stuff as I slowly leave sanity behind.

This is the first time I have done a one-month novel since launching my website. It is a little different writing so much on my book every day and also trying to keep up with my blog (really, the blog is a great distraction from the novel–go figure). It is harder to juggle both, and so I am enlisting your help, readers!

Tell me: what do YOU want to know from ME, dear readers? Put your questions* in the comments**, and I will set to work answering them next week. You can ask anything from “what  is your favorite color?” (green) to “what is your writing schedule like?” (crazy and during times it shouldn’t be) to “why does my neck hurt to move when I wake up sometimes?” (meniscoid entrapment) to “what is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?” (African or European?).

Ask away, readers. Ask away.

*Really, leave questions. Ask as many as you want. Putting up a post asking readers for questions and then not getting any is kind of like getting picked last in gym class. Nobody likes getting picked last in gym class. Nobody.

**I know this is a little odd for my less blog-savvy subscribers (*cough*mom*cough*), but if you are getting this via email, just click through to the actual post. There is a handy, dandy little comment form at the bottom. Utilize it.
