Things are still up in the air in regards to November. Like, I know I want to do something but I keep flip flopping on what. This is mostly due to the fact that I have to work next month and that is going to take away a lot of my creative drive.

(Yaaay ghostwriting? Or yay money at least.)

I'm considering just trying to take on a challenge I assign myself that, on each day I don't work on work words, I try and make a ficlet happen for posting here. I figure that won't be too bard and I can definitely manage to do a drabble or something.

Well, i hope I can. I won't say definitely towards anything right now.

I also keep entertaining the idea of doing linked short stories for a verse. I also am trying to come up with something for a submission call over at Book Smugglers. SO the point is I have a lot to work on, I just have to make myself sit down and do it.

....wow, this turned into a whole thing. WHoops.

Hell yes more money. How's the writing goodness shaking out for you so far?

Con and Halloween threw me off so bad I have not even started making words of any sort. Whoops.

THERE IS STILL TIME

Also, how were Con and Halloween? We had a pretty awesome Halloween here, but no con unless feeding the work children counts XD.

I am going to try to do actual, proper NaNo this year for the first time in years (I've been rebelling pretty hard the last few times). I still don't have an actual plot, but we'll see where things go once I start writing.

[shipwreck_light]

Sweet! That sounds awesome. Did a plot show up? I mean, it's NaNoWriMo so this isn't a strict requirement, but sometimes they're fun!

[kay_brooke]

Well, I can be wordy as fuck when I need to be, so I am almost 6000 words into the thing and nope, no plot yet. There is going to be a heavy romantic component, but my lovers haven't even met yet. They might not meet for several thousand more words, in fact, because it turns out I'm having all kinds of fun throwing obstacles in their way. Maybe there will be a plot in there somewhere.

OBSTACLES ARE PLOTS CLEARLY THE EVIL SPACE OVERLORD DID THE THING
