It's a gorgeous, dark, dank day outside. Driving through the countryside is amazing. The fog that settles in the valleys, the little sheep running around, the smell of damp wood and the Halloween decorations beginning to emerge . . . I love autumn. It's time for me to get out the cold weather play list (Interpol, Radiohead, Elliott Smith, music from The Nutcracker) and curl up to my laptop and start writing again. I know the NaNoWriMo is coming up, and I'm going do it this year, but tweak it. I don't think I'll try to write a novel, but instead a heavy, fleshed-out short story. Everything I've been writing lately has been guilty-pleasure-only. It's not anything I would actually let someone read, much less submit anywhere. I want to write something booming, between 7 - 10 thousand words, with a clean plot that's actually about something. It's time for something good, and it's time I start submitting again.
I'm getting new glasses tomorrow. I'm going shopping tomorrow. I'm hoping to buy something loud and eccentric, like red go-go boots or a leopard-print top. Maybe not. Maybe just some grey trousers.
