A Little More Swag


I found a couple more things I bought on the North Dakota trip- another North Dakota patch and a stick medallion from Fort Abercrombie.

Also, if you give a monetary gift to the NCTA in September, you can get the patch on the right. Those of us who love patches therefore have no choice!

I worked on many of my projects today including writing a bit on Vacation. That's up to 40,964 words. I'm beginning to get a feel for how to get to the ending. This is always the hardest part for me. I have a clear story line for about 2/3 of the plot. I have an ending. But connecting the two is often difficult.

My tooth still doesn't hurt, but it's very sharp. I bought a sports mouth guard and fitted a small piece of it to cover that section of my teeth. Annoying, but it keeps me from cutting my tongue to ribbons, and constantly poking at it.

I managed to work a bit on a number of projects, but I'm feeling highly unmotivated this evening.

"The King, or the Queen, never bothers to prepare any patches," Alice complained. "I'm not able to get even a single one in Wonderland."

Lulu: "That is some pretty neat swag! I mean, I don't think you can eat it, which is our favorite kind of swag, but on the other hand, it will last a lot longer than treats do."
Java Bean: "Ayyy, our Dada says that was always his thing, too! He would write the beginning and keep going until he got to an ending, and then he would go back and fix the middle so that the beginning would lead to the ending the right way!"

Rainfield- no patches for Wonderland. Hmm. maybe I don't need to visit

Bean- yes, Dada understands. I don't know why that connection is so tough
