I came home to unexpected postcards from Nunuut and Melusine. <3 Lovely! It's always nice to find such a surprise. (Speaking of which, I have postcards that I need to mail, myself... going to have to get around to that soon.)
The days are starting to get really, really short, and man, am I ever glad that I bought those jogging reflectors. It's pitch black by the time I'm heading home, and visibility on these streets is pretty bad. They do the job for now, at least. I'm not sure how it'll be once we're deeper into the winter, but we'll see.
Oof, it's been a long day. Mondays always are, especially when I'm doing the longer shifts... I'd expected to get a bit of writing done when I got home, or at least editing, but nope. It was an evening of: turn off brain, knit while watching some Rose of Versailles, and then go for a run. That's it. Oh, well. Tomorrow, maybe. I just feel better when I'm able to get something written down. I spend all day with so many ideas swimming around in my head, so it's really disappointing to come home and feel like a big blob of blah, incapable of doing anything that requires any thought at all.
Not to mention, I still have a lot of stories for Trick or Treat Exchange that need to be polished and sent to a beta; they pass the bus test, but they still need just a little bit more tweaking. Just a little bit more....
A lot of people have signed up for
silentnightex, and I'm really excited. So many more than I'd expected! (Perhaps a few more will join in? Signups are open for a few more days...) Though I must say, I'm a little bit concerned about some of the worries I've heard going around - mostly "I'm worried my work won't be good enough, especially compared to so-and-so" type stuff. It's a handful of people that I've heard it from now, not just one person, and all of the people who have said such things are folks that I'd love to receive fanwork from. I don't really know how to reassure everybody that it's going to be just fine; I guess it's just that people tend to judge themselves rather harshly, unfortunately. And I'm the same way, sometimes, so I guess I don't really have room to criticize. (Do as I suggest, not as I do....)
Speaking of SSSS, today's page sure is a doozy. YIKES! For a second I didn't understand what I was looking at, but then... ohhh dear. I wonder how the hell the crew's going to get out of this one.
