I'm about halfway writing-wise where I need to be right now, but I expect that to pick up after the 17th (but maybe after a night of going to bed at 8pm).
Your flash challenge has that Justin Bieber song going through my head right now. It's a good thing that I like it and right now a more pleasant earworm than choir music.
I hear you about the weather. I feel like I've completely missed fall this year. Maybe we'll catch a break soon.
Happy writing!
Awesome! Good luck getting caught up. I need to do the same, I fear.
Hahahaha... my older girl (she's 18 now) was SUCH a Justin fan when she was younger so I'm well acquainted with the song you mentioned. He had such a baby voice on that Christmas album, too.
We don't ever get a fall, not like the rest of the country does, so I don't miss it much. But when you're used to one, I can see why you'd miss it.
Right back atcha!
But at least I'm not behind.
I need to kick them in the butt cause I want to finish this draft, dang it!
Good luck with the draft! You've got this.
15 days and Christmas will be over for another year. Yay....
Not too far off on word count thanks to our boys. ;)
Awesome! I'm at like half of what I need, but I'll get there. :D
Happy monday to you!
Right back atcha!
Wordswise, I got nothing, but I am on track with Advent, so tomorrow night I have icons to make, and if that gets done, it's all good!
I've got a bunch of old school friends coming to potluck dinner on Saturday night while the family is away for the weekend (while the cat's away...) so although I don't have to worry too much about food, I will have to clean the house on Saturday, and take the dog on a LONG walk so he'll be too exhausted to bother everyone! Wish me luck!
And the weather's warming up here, which is what I actually love about Christmas in this part of the world, oddly enough! ;-)
Nice on the Advent front - creating is creating, right?
Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun. Enjoy yourself!
I know what you mean - a lot of people look forward to snow this time of year (WHY???) and yet, it's still in the high 60's here, so not very winter-like weather for most people. Enjoy the warm weather. :)
YES! And I am all set to go, as long as I can remember which fandom I'm creating for... I think it's
Ben BarnesNarnia, so that should have plenty of possibilities!It will be, although I am just now thinking that we will probably have too much food as there are only 7 of us and if everyone brings a complete meal-size portion for that many people... oh well! Leftovers all around!
I've done the winter Christmas thing a few times and while it does have it's charm, I really love that in NZ we're heading into summer and so we're all winding down for that at the same time as doing the whole Christmas rush thing! crazy, but true! And there's nothing like having annual leave just after Christmas and relaxing in the sun after all that full-on stuff. Plus you don't have to wrap up warm to shop or visit. I hope your weather stays mild for the season too! ;-)
Oh nice! And yes, that ought to give you a ton of possibilities.
ROFL - leftovers are the best part of a potluck. But always better to have too much than not enough, I say.
I honestly think that if it were summer here, that the Christmas rush wouldn't be so crazy. Summer imparts a more relaxed atmosphere than winter. At least, for me anyway. It won't get *cold* here until January or so, but even then, it doesn't get as cold as say, K, will experience. We have maybe one or two freeze warnings all winter and rarely actually get to freezing temps.
