Christmas is coming!

Really! And I'm excited! I like presents! Everything about them--getting them, giving them, everything! Yay presents!

On a more somber note, I have pretty much given up on nanowrimo. Maybe I'll do better next year. But it just came at a bad time. Work picked up like crazy, classes are full of the studying and brain filling, and I just got 4 rejection slips in the past 2 weeks and I'm giving myself a writing break to wallow in self disgust.

I do this, I find. I'm utterly unmotivated to write or edit or resubmit or anything for a couple of weeks every few months. I feel like these weeks of down time are actually a good thing, though. I'm not being negative, I'm just giving the whole thing a break. And I know I'll get motivated again soon enough.

Grandma Linda and Aunt Sis came down on Sunday for massages. They both seemed happy with them. It made me happy. And Melissa came over for a massage on Friday night, so I had my first official paying client from the writing group! My plan is inching its way to reality! Bwahahaha. Someday I'll have my own business and work from home and makes lots of moneys and I'll be a successful writer, too. What the hell. If I'm going to dream, I want them all to come true.

I've been putting together an idea for a GURPS campaign. I haven't been this excited to run a game in a while. The PC's will be super powered high schoolers who have been charged with fighting an ancient evil that has allied itself with an insidious alien threat. I think it sounds cool. I'm working on a setting and everything. ^_^ I'm looking for players. Paul is in, as is Linda, a really cool girl I met at school. I'm hoping for five.
