Happy November 1st!

Hope you had a fabulous Halloween!

In this country, Halloween is a celebration of costumes, candy, and good spirits, but did you know that Samhain (Halloween’s Celtic name) represents the dawn of a New Year? Out with the old, in with the new!

So to modern day followers of Samhain…Happy New Year!

We had a great Halloween last night. The grandkids came over and trick-or-treated from our house. We had a NASCAR driver, a Hershey Kiss (too cute for words!), and a tiny pirate.

Our neighborhood kids and their friends cleaned us out of all things candy and then respected our “lights out, nobody home” darkened countenance once the treats were depleted. It’s a good neighborhood *happy sigh*

We remembered to change our clocks this morning (did you?), so all is right in our world!

And…a special good wish goes out to everyone participating in NaNoWriMo this year. May you write like the wind and discover your muse!

What Does Your Muse Look Like?

Ever wondered about your muse? I've known mine since I was a little girl. I've ignored her a lot, but I've always known who and what she was.

I met her when I was about nine...on a school field trip to the Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She wasn't part of any traveling collection, she was a piece of statuary from when the museum was a private (very posh) residence. I loved her so much, that when DH and I were first married I took him to Philbrook for the express purpose of meeting her.

But I've never had a decent picture of her...until now.

I recently did a google search for her and FOUND HER! I contacted the photographer, Bob Smith, and asked for permission to introduce her to my world. He graciously gave it. So here she is...my muse...

Busy week here at Mumford Manor, but now I'm settling in for a quiet weekend. Just me, a fluffy white cat, my beloved bull mastiff, and two BFIs. That's Big Furry Idiots...my granddogs. For those of you who haven't met them, Thor and Odin are our own personal terror twins. German Shepherds belonging to my daughter and son-in-law, the BFIs are frequent guests in our home.

So, for the weekend, it'll be humans: 1, critters: 4.

I'm planning to get LOTS of writing done *happy sigh*

I did my first ever talk to a writers group last night. It went very well (or at least, they were very kind *g*). So this morning I posted the non-extemporaneous portions to my main blog. The topic is world-building and the post is here if you're interested.

Have a great day!

Looking through my LJ friends got me in trouble this afternoon. [info]jimvanpelt posted about Pointless Sites, and I followed along like a lamb to slaughter. Or in this case, like a writer to squirrelization...


I've been squirrelized, and worse yet, I passed it along to my son and my best friend *gasp*

I did an interview this week which will be published in due time.

Check out my main blog for my answer to "the agent question."

Be sure to leave me a comment...I'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

What a Great Day!

I had lunch with my agent today, and I didn't even have to fly to NYC to accomplish it. How cool is that?

Victoria is currently in Portland at the Willamette Writers Conference, and I was able to steal her away for a little over 2 hours. We had lunch at a lovely riverfront restaurant, chatted about this, that, and everything else, and discovered that we mesh nicely beyond our publishing connection. What a delight!

We discussed the multiple plot bunnies racing around my brain and settled on my next WIP. Yay! We also decided to pull all my work under one name, so Deb Logan is on her way out...Debbie Mumford reigns supreme. (Fitting actually, since Logan is my maiden name *lol*)

Happy start to the weekend, one and all!
