A whole bunch of chaos has been going on around the Buschman house lately. Saturday, we drove out to Arizona, a 6 hour drive, to trade in Michael's two cars for an Acadia Denali, a beauty! Not only did we get a sweet family car out of the deal, we are saving over $200 a month, including insurance. After this week, after we sell my car, we will be saving a little more. I know, I know, this is a writer's blog, but hey, when is a writer's life experiences not reflected in what he/she writes?!
Anyways, tomorrow we get our taxes done. Woot! A couple more personal family stuff going down this week as well. More to come on that later, if anything happens with it. After a doctor's appointment last Friday, and a diagnosis of STRESS, STRESS and more STRESS, I was prescribed a muscle relaxant and extra strength Aleve to help control my migraines (aka Stress Headaches). Apparently my body stores the massive amounts of stress over the past 10-15 years and this is the result. I am in the process of learning when and how to take the muscle relaxer, since it makes me feel like I've just had two drinks and shouldn't drive. It also kills my writing drive. Ech. I've figured out that if I eat a certain way before and after, it metabolizes better and I'm not so loopy or falling over. Yay!
Back to the writing. I'm a little stumped with this one particular character's name. He is supposed to be the main male character's adopted brother. He is naturally suspicious and a little paranoid of everyone and every thing. He also deals out punishments of upholds the law that has been set by his brother. I don't want to give too much away, but he dresses like a punk rock. Think Abby from NCIS, Dad. ;-) So, to the right of this blog, you'll see another poll on what you think this guy's name should be. At the moment, he is seventeen years old, and was adopted at age twelve. Before adoption, he took care of himself on the streets, and as a smaller child he was in and out of foster care. I hope the background is enough for you all to give your best opinion. If you feel that none of the names I've suggested fit, by all means share in a comment! I'm hunting for ideas. All that I've come up with just don't seem to fit......
Well, happy writing writers. I've got to get going, baby should be waking up soon, then it's more errands to run and some play on the playground, maybe a walk. It's so NICE outside again today.
