Well, I'm disappointed because I wanted to be done by today. But I'm just not feeling it. More and more my thoughts turn to the projects I want to work on in the new year. This is actually a good feeling, because my NaNo story kind of ate my brain months ago, and even though I held off on writing it, I just couldn't really muster much enthusiasm for other projects. But I think I've gotten the NaNo story out of my system now, so I can go back to other stuff.
The section I wrote today was a future scene where my MC's friends find out about her romance with the love interest (which they've been kind of keeping secret for Reasons). So basically I skipped writing the part where the romance actually happens because I suck. But like I said, I wasn't feeling it and I already had the reveal scene in mind, so I went ahead and wrote it. It was that or write nothing at all today.
I also spent way too much money today.
GoPro Hero5 Black, the newest GoPro camera. I had originally planned to buy the Hero4 Silver way back at the beginning of the year, but I never got around to it, and in the meantime they came out with a new generation. So I got that instead. Note for people who might be interested, because the guy at REI failed to tell me this: you need a micro SD card for the camera to work (there is no internal storage), and one does not come with the camera. Luckily I had one lying around from my old camera that I got rid of earlier this year. It's only 2 GB, but it'll at least get me started until I can buy something bigger.
Also, I went into REI to use my 20% off coupon, but the GoPro was one of the things I couldn't use it for. So I also got this (I got the gray one). I wanted a pack that was smaller than my Osprey Tempest, because even though I like the Tempest, it's a little big for just short day hikes or casual walks around town. What I've been using is this horrible cheap bag I got from WalMart, but it's really uncomfortable and I'd like to get rid of it.
