Day 26 of NaNo, and the end

I'm done... Don't think I could write anything else for a few days. Honestly.
90177 is the final tally, with a trilogy ready for edits, shorts ready for anthologies and magazines, and stories in need of middles and endings.

But, I'm happy and I think that may be the only thing that matters.

Now, I'm going to crash for a few days, kick my muse in the balls, duck tape her to a chair and tell her to leave me alone until next month.

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it, and remember to support small, indie and local companies/people this shopping weekend.

Day 2 of NaNo...

So you're warned, good chance almost every update this month will be about NaNo.  I'll try and slip in other things as well, but you'll find a LOT of NaNo over November.

Anywho, wrote 1888 words for day two, bringing my total upto 3,564 words in all.  ^^

My weird time travel piece got some extra words, as did another piece.  It may be finished or it may still be a work in progress.  Can't say for sure.  If anything, I think it needs more in between.

Here's a sneaky peak of it.

I remember running from someone on the street.  They’d caught me stealing food and decided that wasn’t something they could let go just then.  Bad enough that the world had come to a screeching halt three months before, didn’t need teen thief running around stealing food too. 

Ass. 

Yeah, money’s tight, but there’s no way anyone can pay for the food, when we’re not even working any more.  Only people with jobs are those few with connections.  Leaves most out on the streets. 

So, I took some food and was trying for a hair brush when they caught me and I ran.  That day really changed my life. Wish it could have been all for the better.

What I did for Halloween...

So, I woke up Friday morning with a stuffed nose and a scratchy throat.  I'd known the night before that my day wasn't going to happen as I'd planned.

On the flip side, I've spent the last two months fighting a cold, been to two cons [hundreds of people], an outdoor event and been dealing with stress all over the place.  So, its a surprise I haven't been sick already.

At the very least, most of November is set to be done inside and and more at rest.  That being, I need to upload the rest of my jewelry to etsy and start writing whatever the heck I'm gonna write for NaNoWriMo.

Instead of going out for my events, I picked up two movies and dad got pizza... And I hung out at home.

Watched Transformers 4 and I have to say... It was better than 3, which was better than 2... But perhaps not better than 1.  [my list would be 1, 4, 3, 2].

Anywho, it could be perhaps because when I watch movies like this I expect so little out of them, that I almost always end up getting more than I planned and it makes me happy.

Stanley Tucci has the ability, I think, to make a movie better, just by being in it.  Somehow his skills always make a movie more enjoyable.  No matter what the part, good, bad, inbetween... He's a joy to watch.
