Today, I look like a modern impressionist canvas. I’m wearing every known crayon color, or at least all the primary and secondary ones. For some strange reason this makes me happy. I suppose it could be the two cups of coffee I’ve already sucked down. But, for the sake of argument, I’m going with the color theory. And, while I’m on the subject of choosing to believe things, I’m going to believe that when people call me a “piece of work” it is in reference to art.
I asked some people to share their color thoughts and it’s time to reveal those insightful answers to you, my readers, including the anonymi. (New word – Noun plural for anonymous.)
The people who received the question regarding color are all novelists, which is appropriate since I’m a wannabe. Have I mentioned that I’m currently penning a mystery novel? “Penning” sounds so much more literary than “clicking my brains out.” I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about this later.
I’m not alone in this novel pursuit, I have a co-authoress. We will be “pitching” (wannabe author talk for begging someone to buy the idea so we can finish the book) the idea and first few chapters in September in Dallas (not to be confused with Paris in April – and for the record I’ve never been either place.) As of a month ago I wasn’t attending the ACFW (American Christian Fiction Writers) conference, but then life changed and now I’m going. I’d mention how excited I am, but I’m afraid after the whole cricket poem my dear readers would be frightened.
So, now that I’m out of space for the day, consider this preparation for a colorful upcoming week on Scrambled Dregs.

I hope you have a great time at conference, and I hope someone buys your idea! And you're seriously wearing all those colors, and I thought I was being the bright one today in my bright yellow shirt!
I'm so glad we can all be wannabes together! Someday we'll be authors together! In my novel, the wacky pastor of the cult doesn't let them women wear anything but black or gray. Personally, I like red.
How exciting! I hope you have a great time!
I love your courage...your courage to actually attend a writers conference...and your courage to mix colors! I mix black and white! Does that count?
:)
