Honest I'm alive

I have 7 days left, including today, until NaNoWriMo kicks off, and the idea of writing makes me feel tired and headachey. I am going to do it, though, just to prove that you can write even when you really, really don't want to.

No, I don't know why. Even blogging is making me feel tired, which is a massive change from what I used to be. Even now I'm here, I can't imagine not loving writing, so there's definitely something weird going on. I still have stories, they're just played out in RP, and it's not like I'm totally down because everything is awesome. It's just writing. Weird.

So I'm going to reread Just A Mistake and see if I can work out where I was going with it, then go there.

Hello! How's tricks?

My creativity is involved in folding origami pumpkins at the moment. Don't ask, my life is weird. At least it's a lot of fun weird?

Mine is sewing not quite cut out even triangles together. I don't judge :)

I'm good. The original book is nearly a book (I think). I won a mentorship with the NZ Society of Authors this year. It's now draft umpty twelve, it's down to a respectable 90k words and it's back to my mentor to see what she thinks this time around. That's real progress I tell you.

Enjoy your pumpkings
(I'm just going to leave that typo there. It's kinda cute.)

That all sounds awesome. I've been keeping track as well as I can on Facebook, which admittedly isn't that well. 12 drafts is terrifying though
