FACT or FICTION: Is Angela REALLY Doing NaNoWriMo?

Something strange happened today and I'm turning to you guys for help.  As you all know, Angela told us all she would be taking November off from the blog to participate in NaNoWriMo. A month of writing, no distractions, she said. A secluded getaway, just her and the keyboard, she said.

And well, that's what I thought she was doing.

But then I got a disturbing email addressed to Angela. It was from Jessica Bell, a respected blogger, songwriter, singer, author of String Bridge and well known personality in our writing community.

Because I'm handling all things blogging right now, I opened it. The contents were...most unAngela-like. If Jessica were not such a stand up person, I might have dismissed the letter and picture enclosed as some kind of hoax. But, knowing her as I do...I am at a loss as to what to believe.

After some serious deliberation, I'm posting the email here in hopes someone might have answers.

Dear Angela,

So I kinda followed you this morning. And I brought my camera. You weren't going to your writing cabin in the woods to tap away at your NaNo project at all, were you? I mean, you lied to me. How could you? I thought we were in this together?

Unless...you are trying to fit in some quick research? Is your novel about extraterrestrial ballroom dancers, disguised as spunky blonds, that try to inhale human brain matter through aural orifices for experiments in cloning participants for Dancing with the Stars? If not, then I'm afraid I'm going to find it very hard to forgive you.

 Is that what your book is about? *Ahem* Wow. Don't you think that's a bit out there? What kind of audience are you targeting? And what are you doing wearing that dress? I mean, unless you're planning on sitting on some Easter eggs, I would have thought your taste would be less ... yellow. 

*Sigh* Honestly, Angela, I'm disappointed. You'd better get in touch, stat. I need an explanation.

*Whispers* Oh, and um before you leave Mr Grease Lightnin' ... couldja score his um *cough* phone number *cough* for me?

This must be a mistake. A misunderstanding. I mean, this couldn't REALLY be Angela, could it? She's supposed to be WRITING, glued to her computer, surviving off of Diet Dr. Pepper and leftover Halloween Candy. And dear god of Mountain Dew, wearing that dress? Please. The word isn't even in her vocabulary.

Okay. There MUST BE a logical reason for this picture that Jessica took. I'm interested in your thoughts, Musers, so please, TAKE THE POLL...

 

Stay tuned, Musers. I will try and track her down. 

Becca, OUT.
