🎃 👻
Hi, hi, quick notes (I’ve been trying to write this all week, with predictable, post-Disney World (lack of) results):

mini_wrimo is open for business this year, \o/. You can sign up through 10 Nov this year, as things got started a little late. Other than the one year my subconscious got all pissy about writing to word counts, I almost always enjoy having this built-in group support (I am not using the accountability word as that kills my motivation.)
I think I’m also doing full-scale NaNo this year, so if you’re doing the thing, too, let me know and we can commiserate together. (I loved that note that went around on twitter, about how it’s Inktober and all your artist friends are posting daily drawings and are all happy, and then it’s NaNo and all your writer friends disappear and only occasionally surface to ask you to kill them.) I have only the slightest plan, but I’m definitely a pantser, so I do better that way. I have characters and a general idea of a plot, so I’m just going to keep asking myself ‘and then what happens’ and ‘yes, that, buuuttttt’ or ‘no, and THEN’ and see where my brain goes.
Also, in my delight with Christopher Pike’s run on Star Trek: Discovery I went through a whack of podcasts related to the show and ohmyGOD, I hate what passes for fandom outside of my little bubble. I disliked what I listened to so much, I ended up having a dream where I had my own podcast with one of my oldest geeky friends, who now lives on the other side of the country. Our husbands refer to us as heterosexual life partners, and true to form, as soon as I texted her about the dream, she fired back, “WHY NOT?!” So, stay tuned for that. (Neither of us have the slightest idea what the hell we’re doing, but dear lord, some of these things I tried to listen to were SO DREARY I feel we can’t help but try.)
OMG, I just found out that the show that I imprinted on as a wee little topaz, Dark Shadows, the campy Gothic romance soap opera of the 60s, is available for streaming on Amazon! HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ME!!
