I woke up this morning to a thin white blanket of snow.

It won't stick, but it's depressing all the same. Snow should wait until AFTER Halloween. I want kids to be able to trick-or-treat without the snowsuit. (always my pet peeve when I was trick-or-treating - you're supposed to wear your COSTUME.)

Not. One. Bit.

*sigh*

26,528 and two chapters and possibly an epilogue to go, then edits to actually make all those changes I decided on while writing. And then more edits, and somehow you have to be ready by April 30 - you and two massive projects for my ( Read more... )

This is my dilemma: do I work on the essay due this Sunday (oh, how I hate Postmodernism!) or do I continue riding the roll that has me at 25,000 words on my pet project, due April 30? The pet project needs writing, dontcha know, and once its done it needs some heavy revising ( Read more... )
