What a week it has been for Brain Cell. It is on overload.
I have rewritten the opening to Ripper, My Love. This in turn has altered a few other things, [you know the domino effect these things have], anyway I am happy with the result.
Research for Ripped Genes is going great. I was sent a family tree link offer from a company, and they were sharing immigrant information videos from the late 1800's for the weekend for free. I waded through quite a few and gleaned little tidbits from them. It was fascinating and far better than paying $49 for the full thing. Free always makes it that bit more special, don't you think?
I wrote a few more words on [close your ears] Vanity Express [yuk, still hate this title].
NaNoWriMo planning was another project I played around with during my spare time.
While I was typing away, Brain Cell must have been bored and went off on a journey of its own. It tends to do that sometimes.
It came back with Chewy Chester Davies.
Who?
Well I said the exact same thing. It turns out he is going to be the POV for my children's book.

| Come Back Brain Cell! |
WAIT RIGHT THERE BRAIN CELL!
I do not write children's books.
What do you mean by-well you do now?
This year you have had me writing one novel, starting another, trying out first person for a 50,000 word challenge, writing a romance with a title I HATE and now you come at me with a kid called Chewy Chester?
I'm walking...no sorry Brain Cell you have pushed me over the edge now. Who is this Chewy anyway? Where does he live? Does he have any pets? Is Chewy really his name? What does his mum do for a living? Does...
OK, I'm in, I will write a children's book...one day. Happy? Good now go away while I read throught this manuscript I have been honoured with reading for an Important One.
Brain Cells...Who'd have 'em?
PS: If you have recently become an Important One, could you please leave your blog ID. It appears that Google does not always share the blog links when I click on your profile pics. I would love to visit your home of blogging too!

Oh, I love Chewy Chester Davies and can't wait to learn more about him.
It sounds like you've got your hands full with Brain Cell. Definitely seems to have a mind of its own. LOL
Hope you have a great day. We're celebrating Labor Day in the US. It's our last official holiday before Thanksgiving. It sort of signals the end of summer even though Autumn doesn't begin until Sept. 23.

Oh good! Children's book.I too want to branch out in that area. Make sure you blog about he journey. I'll be following right along.
Thank you so much for finding my blog. You live in Cypress? SO COOL! YOur place looks amazing! I have lived in some great places, but that is awesome :)
Mason, BC is such a madam, she is a handful. :) Enjoy your day!
Tabitha, I will blog the journey no worries there. Yup, Cyprus is my home until my pen-nib dries.
Thank you both for visiting me today. :)
Chewy is a wonderful name for a children's book character.
You are super busy - and, it sounds like, loving it! Yay!
Brain Cell wants to keep you busy.
And glad to know I'm not the only one who can't follow back sometimes because no profile or blog is provided.
Silly blog comment box! They're eating my comments!!! It means this one won't be near as strong!
Chewy Chester Davies rock! Sounds like you've got a lot of work to do! I want to hear more about Chester and with such an awesome name there is definitely a story to be told!
BTW - This is just incase you aren't able to visit via my blog id http://jennifer-daiker.blogspot.com
Helen, I am loving it. I was eating a chewy fruit bar, when the name came to me. Crazy eh? I regret not being able to do this years ago. I am thankful for my chance now though.
Alex, BC certainly does. It is frustrating when I can't see behind the screens of an Important One.
Jen, I hope Chewy rocks at some point in his life. LOL
Thanks for visiting me folks, I love it when you do. ♥
Oh, Glynis, this made me smile. BC sounds like quite a handful. Can't wait to read more about this journey of Chewy's.

I know I'm gonna love Chewy!
Do Not touch the off button on the Brain Cell. It will become angry and not answer when you call. Perhaps you can train it, though I don't have any idea how.
Don't forget to BREATHE! :D
I tell you Mary, her red handbag is full of ideas. She is a force to be reckoned with.
Mary, I hope I am going to love Chewy too! LOL
Thanks for reminding me. Breathe Glynis Breathe. ☺
Thanks for taking time out for me ladies. ♥
Wasn't Chewy the name of some beast in the Spaceballs movie? lol..That's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the name. he he
Chewy Chester sounds cute and mischievous.
Hey Glynis! You always make me smile!!! And sorry about your lost brain cells!
My brain cells run amok sometimes, too and I've found I have to humor them to get them back on track. Chewy Chester sounds like a cute and interesting little character.
Chewy sounds terrific - and I don't think he's going to leave you alone so I guess you might as well let him talk :)
Lauren, I think Starwars had a chewy too! Mine is tiny and not hairy though. LOL
Loree, he and BC are going to be a handful I think. LOL
Erin, thanks. I tell you Brain Cell is working me hard enough, the lost ones are a bonus. LOL
Jane, humour is the cure for all my Brain Cell issues. She can give me headaches sometimes. Chewy is a cheeky chappy I think.
Jemi, I do need to sit him and Brain Cell down to talk this one through. LOL
Thank you all for taking time to visit me. ♥
You just made me laugh SO hard... I have also NEVER eaten a chocolate. A couple dozen chocolates, perhaps, but a single chocolate? no way.
Erin, after I read my comment on your post I had to do a double take. A chocolate? I thought. When did I ever eat one chocolate? I could not leave a lie in your comment box, so had to 'fess up. LOL
Thanks for visiting today.
Sorry I'm late Glynis. I too want to know about Chewy, which by the way, I love the name.
My brain has invited a few friends lately and I think they are planning an all night party.
The other side of the pond says hello :D
Jules @ Trying To Get Over The Rainbow
Darn those brain cells! How fun, though, to write a children's book. I say go for it!
