A month!

A month! A month I have been away. I wish I had an excuse, but I've just been sick and trying to struggle through it for school.

I started reading Richard Laymon's The Cellar tonight, and I got to page 41 and can't read more. I'd like to, but after page 41 is page 49. It's skipped the in-between. It happens a few more times throughout the book, so I'm returning it to the library soon, and mentioning it to the librarian.

NaNoWriMo is so close now! I can taste it! Is anyone else participating? This will be my second official year and I've got a story in mind. I'm itching for it to be October 31st!! Halloween and then NaNoWriMo kick-off!!

One Word.... Mercury

"It's still rising"
"How? It's already 110 degrees out here!"
"I would think it's getting hotter and the mercury is rising as a result."
"Haha. It was a rhetorical question."
"It's not going to matter if it was or not when we're dead." Slowly she sat back and looked out the window. "Do you think we will be unconscious before it starts melting?"
Jack tilted his head to take in the view she was seeing, "Of course. This ship was built to withstand up to 1,000 degrees. We'd be fine if the fuel hadn't run out." He fell silent as they continued to watch to the sun they were slowly approaching.

One Word.... Paintbrush

Slowly, he placed the paint brush on the counter. It dripped blue onto the floor as he stared at his canvas.It rolled as he carefully picked up his masterpiece and moved it to his drying table. The paintbrush fell on the floor as he capped his paints. It was kicked under the desk as he walked to the sink to wash his hands.

The paintbrush collected dust as he became famous from the painting.

One Word.... Paperback

Carefully she lined the paperbacks on the shelf. When she came across a bent or torn one she set it aside. Carefully she laid out the bent copies, smoothing them as flat as she could. Hefting a heavy encyclopedia, she set it carefully atop the paperbacks to fix the bends. The torn paperbacks were analyzed, and the ones that were unfix-able went into the meticulously sorted recycling. She carefully mended the remaining books and shelved them.
