Moles as Food?



I don't think eight adult moles would fit in a jar that small, do you? They're said to taste vile.
I see a lot of weird food at Walmart.

I could use a lot of prayer, if you want to pray for me. :) The hindrances and obstacles lately have been enormous.

I went through the rough draft on the first sequel book again fixing and polishing. I let it rest a few days and got some work done on the outline for the next two books in the series. As mentioned previously, I'm trying to focus on structure more instead of pantsing so much, not that it's wrong. It's just less efficient. The second paragraph of that article is the one that describes pantsing. It's not pulling people's pants down. I haven't read all the article btw, but I probably will.

I don't know if I'll work on the next book for NaNoWriMo or not. It depends on the obstacles. Once I get enough work done on the current one, I need to let it rest about a month. November might be good for getting a head start on book 2. The outline's going pretty well. I have all the major events in place(and settings) unless a great idea strikes that would change something. There's more work to be done, though. My goal is to go through the rough draft again before November and work on the outline on the side. If it sounds like I go through it a lot, it could be worse.

A lot of people listen to music when writing to set the right mood. Something I'm going to experiment with is an ambient sound program. I have one that has sounds for different locations like cafes, plains, various water environments, various city street settings, forests, etc. If I'm writing a scene in which someone's in a cafe, would having cafe sounds on in the background evoke more details in my mind making for richer text? Or would it just be a distraction? We'll see.
