What? Rebekah's blogging again?
OMG!
Yeah... I figured 6 months of unannounced hiatus was enough. Plus, it wouldn't seem like NaNoWriMo without blogging about it.
That's right! It's that time of year again.
If you've ever enjoyed creative writing, I encourage you to visit nanowrimo.org and seriously consider what you've been missing out on. It's a ton of fun even if, like me, you never plan to do anything with your novel after you draft it.
This year, My main character is a teddy bear who serves as a source of comfort and wisdom to a ten-year-old girl named Katie. Here's a picture:
And here's to a moderately thriving blog experience for the next 6 months!
P.S. I'd promise, but you know how that has a history of going. I do, however, mean to post a short synopsis of what I've been up to since I last blogged. (Since that seems to be what people want to know of a recent college graduate.) TTYT!
[EDIT: I'm temporarily going with Rufus Puddlemore. I'll still take suggestions though, and if I see one I like better, I might change. Ooh, and click the Nano '10 button on the right to visit my profile and see the working cover art!]

Would she be a book-reading girl? She could call him Paddington or Pooh Bear. When I was 10 I had a hamster named Charlotte, after a character in a book (not Charlotte's Web, a different book), so I'm going for the "She's getting into reading and all her ideas are from books." Oh, I know. At that age I'd probably have named a bear Bulgy. And my mother would have said, "That's not a nice name!" and I would have had to patiently explain that it was a LITERARY REFERENCE, get with the program, Mommy!
I guess it would depend on how long she's had the bear, though. I have two bears who have been around at least since I was 4, and they are just called Gray Bear and Green Bear. Would it be too silly to call your bear Brown Bear?
I should have mentioned that the bear was named in the late 1920s.
