| Using Disney Villains for my holiday stamps had possibilities, but I decided against it. They're really fun, though! |
The month of November is wrapping up and that means my friends doing NaNoWriMo are also wrapping up their daily writing schedules, looking at their word counts and either celebrating or growling, and generally looking at what they have accomplished in the previous 27 days with a bit of amazement. I've been there, and it's a pretty good feeling. I have found that I need to have a relatively open schedule and a very clear idea of what I want to write before diving into NaNo. Since I had neither of those things, I didn't participate this year. I have cyber-friends who are writing for NaNo and as they come down to the stretch, I'm there in appropriate cheerleader attire waving those pom-poms for you as you cross the finish line. Well done to all - 50,000 words or not. It's a lot of fun and a great experience and there are no real losers - even 800 words written for NaNo is a win if it's the 800 words you really needed to write.

| How are you doing on your NaNoWriMo goals? I've been cheering you along, and I'll be at the finish line at the end of the month to say "Well done!". |
Creativity can get under one's skin. I get a bit anxious if I'm not doing something creative every now and again. Writing can scratch that itch sometimes, but it's things like my annual holiday card that really help me get grounded again. Of course, most years I don't have a bunch of jewelry restrings and repairs waiting for me, so this year is a lot harder, I'll see how far I get tomorrow, but I may have to switch my pearl restring back to the shop or it won't get finished on time. It's a 42-inch continuous strand, knotted between each pearl, and those are time-consuming to do. I may have to fold it in to slower times at the shop instead of tackling it in one swoop.

| The Legion of Superheroes were the kids - the teenaged versions of the adult heroes. For a long time Superboy was a member on and off, until 1980 when he left for a while. Different editors at DC Comics put different takes on the League, but it's been on and off again since the late 1950's. |
One of my friends mentioned the "Legion of Superheroes" in a comment to yesterday's post. Oh yeah! LSA first appeared in DC comics when I was too young to be reading comics (or anything else, for that matter), but they appeared sporadically in "Adventure Comics" and "Action Comics" throughout the late 1950's to early 1960's, getting their own legs in 1962. It would be a lot of fun to see the LSA in movie format - campy and angst-ridden since these were teen-aged heroes and heroines.

| I've always been a fan of "The Phantom Stranger". Wth the mystic necklace, perfect hat, tailored suit, mask, gloves and that cape - oh yeah. Demons, watch out! Phantom Stranger has no fear! |
What comic book character would you love to see on the movie screen? You can pick one that's already had a part in, or starred in a movie before, you can go Marvel or DC or alternative publishing house, but I'm curious. What superhero would you enjoy watching for a few hours of movie entertainment? Me? I'm a "Phantom Stranger" fan-girl from the very beginning - that mystic totally rocked!
Happy Tuesday to all. I'll be bringing the next stage of my holiday cards to the shop with me today - I can hear the clock ticking and I'm totally running out of time to get these addressed and sent out! See that blur around the corner? That's me in "Flash" mode - LOL.
