Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.
–Flannery O’Connor

My hair isn’t falling out, nor are my teeth decaying (that I know of). However, I did wear a tiara while writing today. It’s a long story, so I’ll try to summarize it. I work in an office where women outnumber men 5 to 1, maybe even more. A few years ago, someone started a ritual where we wear tiaras once a month or so.

My tiara broke, so I decided to buy a new one. I received it in the mail today and decided to wear it for fun while writing. I exceeded my goal today. Coincidence? I don’t think so. LOL!

I probably won’t wear it all the time as I write, but I figure if my teeth decay because I write novels, I could wear the tiara as a diversionary tactic.
