So I went back and forth with myself for a while about doing NaNoWriMo. I have to do uni work, I was ill etc. etc. In the end I did what I do every year, which is decide to do it. Because I am some kind of fool, it appears.
It was Halloween yesterday, and I know some people count their calendars from Halloween to Halloween. I like that idea. This is one of my favourite times of year (despite it being a hotbed for S.A.D.-type stuff) as I love orange things, I like the sunny-yet-cold weather and I love pumpkin spice lattes so it's win all round, really. Also, I like the idea of starting the year with NaNoWriMo and finishing it with BristolCon and Halloween. It suits my brain.
My make-shift costume yesterday was "budget Eleventh Doctor" - I already had a fez and a sonic screwdriver, I bought cheap red braces and a bowtie and there we are. We only got one lot of trick or treaters but we're hidden right down the bottom of the estate so that could've been why. I still got to wear a fez all evening so I was perfectly happy! Also I have pumpkin-lights to hang, which pleases me.
New year, time to think about how things are arranged in life, time to think about priorities and what I enjoy doing and what I'd like to do. First one would be "make word count then watch zombie films." Works for me.
nanowrimo,
halloween woo!
