Playing

My mind is in ‘play mode’ – meaning it wants to have fun, not work.  Not sure why exactly.  Perhaps it is the change of the seasons, the whimsical variety of foliage on the trees.  Maybe it’s the earlier sunsets, or that October is often an intense time for me, both personally and professionally.

So I’ve been playing – piddling around with story ideas, putzing about with my current projects, reading some fluffy novels, sketching, making playlists on iTunes, reading about whatever inanity I come across on the internet.

That’s where I found this fun place:

Fakebook (yes, that is F-A-K-E-B-O-O-K… with a ‘K’)  It’s a site that allows teachers and students to create imaginary profile pages for study purposes.  It’s an amusement park for literary geeks – and for me, it’s a long, slippery slope into the den of procrastination (i.e.,  a total time suck.)  But…

Because my mind appears to be on hiatus this month, I made two Fakebook profiles.

I now present to you…

Elizabeth Bennet

Have a look-see.

And then …just because it’s October,

Go Play!
