Food for Thought

It's the weekend, and time to curl up with a good book- mine! As a first time participant in NaNoWriMo, I'm learning a lot about my writing process. I'm never at a loss for words... except when I have to type them out, in tiny black font on an intimidatingly blank page. I have the strangest notion that if I were able to dictate to someone, I might already have my novel and its sequel done. As it is, I'm lagging behind, but finally starting to develop a strategy. Incentivizing! Yesterday's reward was a walk to the farmer's market. It's literally about dangling a carrot in front of my nose...




This afternoon's goal is 1,000 words, and the prize is a pumpkin spice latte (a grande for a grand seems appropriate). Happy Friday!

I'm doing Nanowrimo too. Do you want to join my Buddy List? I like your reward system.

Jane... Thank you! No shortage of beautiful color and texture (and flavor, of course) at our neighborhood farmer's market.

What kind of carrots are those black ones?

Elizabeth said...

There are many varieties of carrot available at our farmer's markets- I've seen purple, yellow, and white in addition to the more recognizable orange! I don't know the name for these dark purple beauties, but they're from an organic farm that uses heirloom seeds.
