How to start a day: Make coffee, get kids to school, rediscover an indie musical artist who was just getting started last time you listened to them and plow through all their new-to-you music on Youtube, get antisemitic anon hate on Tumblr, fix glittery nail polish.

Yes, really.

We are barrelling toward the end of October - Halloween is coming, as is the switchover from the Nightmare Fuel Project to NaNoWriMo. I still have not settled on what I'll be focusing on for NaNo this year. I might try to pull out an old novel and see what progress I can make it, or I might just sit down and write [s]porn[/s] erotica every day. Or create some new fairy tales. Or more horror. Or or or.

I'll figure it out when I get there.

I learned some interesting things yesterday, including that Bosslady thinks I've got the chops to advance pretty quickly within the organization. I'm mulling over the ups and downs of more scheduled hours and higher associated wage versus maintaining the part time level and continuing to attempt to make something happen for myself in the field in which I actually studied.

Still waiting to hear about the loan. Still driving my car as little as possible, and with the windows open.

Are any of you going to be doing NaNoWriMo? If I run writing group chats on Hangouts or Skype or something, possibly even simply in posts on here, would that be valuable for you or distracting?

blissmorgan: (coffee)


I caught myself trying too hard to perform “pretty” and so this is what you get today.

Alas, I did not have the foresight to stick out my pinky and so you cannot see the fabulous goldenglimmer made-for-me-specifically nail polish that I am wearing. I have gotten to the point where half the bottle is gone, now, and I am therefore using it increasingly sparingly so that it will last longer.
 
Today’s perfume is Scherezade, from BPAL. They say it is “Saffron and Middle Eastern spices swirled through sensual red musk.” I say it is dragonsblood with the sweet yanked out and a little extra of a particular incense thrown in. These descriptions are different, but not necessarily in disagreement.
 
I had yesterday off, except that there was a work meeting at five that I DEFINITELY forgot about until my calendar chimed at me at 4. Modern technology reminders FTW! Going to the meeting also meant I got to pick up an extra shift today yesgoodgivemethemonies.
 
The dragonfly blanket was such a hit that a distant relative is facebooking me asking to pay me to make one. I’m going to reply and agree, of course, but I am nervous about whether to give her an actual price right up front, and then discount it, or simply to discount it for her out of hand. I’m worried she will say it is still too much.
 
This is all complicated by the fact that I definitely did not time myself while making the first one, so I do not know exactly - or even approximately - how many hours I put into it. *facepalm*
 
I’ve been keeping up my prompt postings for Nightmare Fuel, but the number of people responding to them has dropped off sharply. I, too, have stopped writing. The nightmares have started, but I’m still staying asleep so…. IDK.
 
I brought the plants in last night; it was too late for the basil, which went to spotty and then fully brown within a day. The rosemary and, of all things, the deer hoof fern are absolutely thriving. I pushed it with the spider plant, but I think it’s going to be okay, even if some of the legs and babies are shrivelling.
 
I need to look around Dreamwidth and find some active written roleplaying communities. Because I have a need.
