Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween, everyone!
I hope that you all have a spooktacular howliday (and don't suffer too badly from the bad puns being bandied about in the [Cyber] Bag of Weasels ...). Watch out for ghosts, talking Ravens ravens, and don't eat any pirate coins!
(Seriously, if you have kids and haven't seen the email about the pirate coins, do read it. It's a Halloween scare that's true for once.)
Unfortunately, I have bad news too. Haunted October has fallen on its face. Oh, I had time to work on my final story ... but I sent the muses away when school started, and they actually listened. I am truly frightened. Muses don't listen; they come around when you want them the least and pester the hell out of you until you throw caution grades to the wind and oblige them just so they leave you alone. (Although talking about characters with hrymfaxe has them peeking back in the door on occasion ... shoo!)
I decided that rather than force a story that I actually like just to have it finished, then I will take the time to finish it when I feel that I have the creative capacity to do it justice. So I will finish it, probably when the muses come barreling back after school is finished for the year, and post it then.
It's about people with wings. And that's all I can say right now.
While scaring up the Haunted October link, I noticed on my LJ front page that it is also ignoble_bard's birthday. Happy birthday, ignoble_bard!
Have a safe and happy holiday, all!
