Once upon a time, there was a little girl with a big imagination, teeming with handsome, charming princes and fair maidens who had awesome wardrobes and usually lots of money, talent, and attitude. Oh, and a dog. Or cat. Or horse. Throw in a cup of shy, a sprinkling of Nancy Drew mysteries, and a toy typewriter and voila! A budding author.
Passion to write remained albeit often buried beneath the reality of life. One evening, faced with yet another M*A*S*H rerun, she snapped. Armed with Roget's Thesaurus and Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition, she opened Microsoft Word and, as they say, the rest is history.
I'm dj and why in the world I wrote that intro in third person omniscient escapes me. The fact of the matter is this: I'm traveling that sometimes rocky road toward publication and I'd love it if you rode shotgun. No doubt, in the course of our journey there will be potholes and even a flat tire or two. We may cry. We will laugh.

Nanowrimo -- November is National Novel Writing Month - that means NaNoWriMo starts at 12:01 a.m. on November 1st. For those of you who aren't familiar with Nanowrimo (quoting founder Chris Baty):
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
It's also fast and furious and lots more fun with buddies. If you have signed up to participate, drop me a note at dj-reilly@sbcglobal.net. Hope to see you there!
New Year, New Look? I think it's time to shake up the old site. I love the playfulness of it because, well, those of you who know me, know that "serious" is rarely a word associated with my behavior. "Flannel," yes. "Cookies," yes. "Grim," ehhhhh.... not so much!
I'm not quite sure what to do, but I'm definitely looking for web site developers who can accurately represent me, crumbs and all!
