elabyNano in T minus four hours! Not like I'll start writing at midnight or anything. I did that the first year and that was enough for me. I probably won't be starting until tomorrow afternoon, either. Surprisingly, I'm not panicking. And that kind of makes me nervous! *laughs* I have a chain of events planned out for my story, and I just hope I can make myself write without worrying about whether it's good or not. I've been writing mostly fanfic lately and I don't give myself "permission to suck" with fanfic, so I'll have to get back into that mindset if I'm going to make my word count every day.
This morning I took the bus into work, and lord almighty, it was cold. Which is weird, because it was warm enough to go without a jacket this evening around dinnertime. But it was awesome even though it was cold, and very Samhain, because everything was rimmed in frost. Each individual blade of grass and leaf and flower and fluffy seed pod had spikes of ice edging it like fur. It all sparkled in the sun, and I walked listening to Feste sing while the yellow leaves fell on the sidewalk. Under each little tree there was an oval of bright newly fallen leaves, and the brown leaves on the edge of the sidewalk had their veins traced with frost.
In celebration of Halloween (only I totally didn't plan it that way XD) I've been re-reading Dracula. I hearts me some Jack Seward, but occasionally the things he says freak me out. He's the narrator so often that I wonder what's part of his character and what's meant to be there because it's what Stoker wanted readers to think. But anyway, I still think Arthur's one of the most unfortunate fictional characters ever, and Van Helsing somehow gets more interesting every time I read the book. I also found conflicting information about Lucy's hair color! Bwah!
Time for a bath :3 Happy Samhain and Halloween!
