30 days …. What could you possibly do in thirty days? Quite a lot, it would seem. We have a goal of at least 50,000 words, which is about 1,667 words a day.
Coming to the close of Preptober, you have high-level details of your story, sketches of your characters, their development path, and outline of the storyline.
This week was all about setting up your game plan and getting the bare-bones in place so that you can continue to expand on the different aspects of the story.
Closing out Preptober Week 1 and we are already seeing positive traction in moving our story from concept closer to reality. The excitement is intense!
Every year around this time, you see people being creative in the type of decorations that they employ to generate the atmosphere for the Halloween traditions.

You spent years training and building your own personal memory palace. You know where everything is organized and places in your mind. One day while wandering around you come into a new section where you find memories and information that you don’t recognize. You start to suspect that there is someone squatting and storing their stuff in your mind.
You hear a ringing in your ear, in the past it has come and gone. This time is different, it is getting louder and more persistent. After consulting a doctor, they reassure you that everything is normal and that it is almost time for you to wake up…
While Renovating your new home, you uncover a secret ladder/stairs behind a false wall that lead deep below the ground. At the bottom is a thick metal door with large locking bolts securely locked. As you reach the door, it starts to unlock and as it opens light floods out and a disembodied voice starts welcoming you inside…

We hadn’t intended to find this particular piece, it was just a mere happenstance that we found ourselves in the right place, the wonderful city of Vienna, Austria at the Belvedere Museum.

Searching for signs of gemstone presence was more difficult than I had expected. As a first foray into Rock Hounding, i would consider it a success.
Getting back into the groove of posting content after having our second child, here are a few items that have kept us busy so far…
