Happy Halloween!
Oct. 31st, 2010 08:16 amI hope everyone who visits the Cliffs has a Happy Halloween and a Blessed Samhain. Me, I'm staying in and watching scary movies for the day, then I may dabble in a little somethingsomething when the sun goes down. I'm planning on everything being extremely laid back. Whatever your plans are, enjoy them as we hurtle into Summersend!
I've decided not to participate in NaNoWriMo this year. With the new puppy eating my time on the computer combined with the fact that I have no new ideas for writing this year, I just don't see how trying to get 50,000 written in a month is feasible. Besides, I came close to achieving that earlier this year with The Augury of Gideon, so I'm not too very disappointed with myself. There's always next year and 2012. It'd be fun to write a novel right before the Alpaca Lips.
