November is National Novel Writing Month

"Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap."


November is National Novel Writing Month. It 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."

The website NaNoWriMo is packed with well organized information, support and inspiration. There are FAQs and a forum for peer support. Groups are set up by region, and you will even have the chance to meet with fellow writers in your area.

The challenge is to write a 50,000 word novel by November 30th. Quality does not matter. Quantity is key. This website's goal is to motivate writers to write every day, no matter how they feel or how busy their lives are. It helps to push writers out of editing and rewriting and fussing over the details such as flow or plot consistency. A writer is his or her own worst critic. Him-hawing over the finer points can be done at any time, but if there isn't enough to him-haw over there will never be that novel you've always been meaning to write someday.

Make someday this year!

Fun Edutainment in Chemistry

Don't worry, I'm not going to talk about anything too geeky. I have been doing chemistry research from a fairly layman's point of view. I found a fun match game for monoatomic ions as well as some videos on YouTube that explain many elements, one at a time, usually with fun examples. If anything, check out the British Professor's hair. Totally "Mad Scientist"! Also found a well put-together website geared toward teaching kids chemistry. Why aren't college classes like this? If I'm not careful I might actually learn a thing or two about chemistry!

Until next time, this is Farmer Jane saying - take two anions and call me in the morning.

Mystification - Part Circus, Part Vaudeville, All Magic!

I recently attended what I thought was going to be a run of the mill, average magic act in the small town of Crystal Falls, Michigan. I was pleasantly surprised and thoroughly entertained. Check out my article over at Associated Content, and watch the video at YouTube of Barbara Tegge performing antipodism. You can see more photos on MySpace as well

Until Next Time, This is Farmer Jane quoting Timothy Tegge: "Keep the magic in your hearts, and the mystification in your mind!"

Have Energy for the Fun Things In Life!

Everybody needs diversions, past times, entertainment, games or sports at some point in their life. At times we forget we need to have fun to make the drudgery of everyday life worth waking up for. There are times when we might feel zapped after a long day or a long week of the daily grind.

Perhaps if our bodies were running at optimal efficiency, all those lovely diversions would be more enjoyable.

Bob Beck revealed a simple process that apparently "cleaned out" the system of research subjects by purifying the blood. You don't even have to ingest anything and you can make the simple apparatus yourself! It's based in science and created by a scientist who never made a dime off the product (on purpose). It's been well documented of being used safely.

Watch this playlist on YouTube to see what I'm talking about. It may just change your life!
