Living with a children's author isn't as easy as it looks!

We’re In!

On November 1 PiBoIdMo started around here.

(BTW – If you click the link, you’ll see a dog that looks a little like me. Thanks, Tara – I think PiBoIdMo is all about me! It is…. Isn’t it?)

Mom has been in it since 2012. It makes her list of story ideas grow by leaps and bounds, so she joined up again this year. She keeps the list in her phone so she doesn’t lose it. And so nobody accidentally eats it.

Accidents happen…

Every single day this month, she will write down a new idea for a book she might want to write.  One of her PiBoIdMo ideas from 2012 became Mom’s first ebook this year!

Authors need a lot of ideas, just like doggies need a lot of toys.

I have no shortage of ideas in my tiny brain, either, FYI. Here are 12 of my favorites…

1. Snuggle on a rainy day.

6. Eat the sprinkles first.

41. Wear velvet at Christmas time.

9. Check the garbage can for pizza crust.

  1. Is PiBoIdMo like NaNoWriMo? Mummy is doing NaNoWriMo this year which is furry exciting!

    • PiBo is something like NaNo, but your mom will end up with an entire amazing novel. My mom will end up with a list of 30 ideas, some of which will be one word long.

      Love and licks,
      C

  2. I hope it goes well, Cupcake!
    I like pizza crust – a lot! But I don’t often get any.

  3. Good for your Mom Cupcake! You’ll have to cheer her on…….as for you – you have the CUTEST ideas ever!!! But then again you always do…..other than maybe eating your Mom’s lists….that might not be the best idea (even if it is yummy).

    Hugs, Sammy

    • Paper is delicious, S. I helped Mom get a story idea today while we were walking in the park. It had nothing to actually do with me, but I was walking along when she got it, so….yeah. I helped.

      Love and licks,
      C

  4. Congrats and enjoy the month! Hope lots of ideas percolate.

  5. Yay!! Good for your mom! If she has as many ideas as you do toys, I think she will be all set 🙂
