My novel for NaNoWriMO 2006 is up & running & you can either access it through the links on the right side of this blog or simply click here. As I agonize on how to write 50,000 words in one month I reflect on an e-mail I received from a stranger a couple of days ago. Here's what she wrote:Different sores must have different salves. Possible Interpretation: Prepare for things to go wrong rather than worrying about them after the fact. See also Dorothy Parker: You can lead a horticulture, but you cannot make her think. Help a lame dog over a stile. Think before you speak.
But an unwatched kettle over boils! Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves. There's no arguing with the barrel of a gun.
Possible interpretation: Everyone's tastes are different. Bitter pills may have blessed effects. Handsome is as handsome does. Beauty may open doors but only virtue enters.
Followup: And we all know what May flowers bring...Pilgrims. No news is good news. Trouble shared is trouble halved. One man's junk is another man's treasure. Fine feathers make fine birds. You must never confuse your feelings with your duties.
Interpretation: A flawed article will require a lot of effort to work with Think globally, act locally. Associated with Camapanology (Quotation from a Church belltower). All for one and one for all. From "The Three Muscuteers" of Alexandre Dumas pere.
You will not rise to the occasion, you will default to the level of your training Long absent, soon forgotten. A cobbler formed the shape of shoes on a wooden foot shaped last. If it lasted long he was happy Cut your coat according to your cloth. Who keeps company with the wolves, will learn to howl.
If I get desperate I can always write like this. Can someone please tell me what this person is talking about? I wold greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much.

I did like this line:

Not sure how it ties into anything, but if you get desperate for something to write about, ramble on!
That was me.
I still hate the Blogger Beta.
