So is October.
He comes and drags through my hair
With shadow fingers that smell like
Leaf smoke candy corn something like a memory.
He’s a stranger master than I’ve ever known
Caressing my hand with a velvet glove
The other wrenching me through the door
By my hair (tarnished, long strands)
Kicking and sobbing.
I used to serve May
But her smile was too bright
And her kisses to kindly.
So I took my pack and
Roamed across the hills of the eyar
And found myself at October’s door.
May still calls
Twirling her mossy hair
Around her earth-brown fingers.
She sings sweet, the come-home song
But I
Am not
Her child.
I am an end of the year
Darker days longer nights
Caramel apple forbidden fruit and icy wine
Creature
Who can only speak on a string.
So is October.

So, let's say that you just bought an apothecary jar thing made of clear glass. What, pray tell, would you use to fill it to give it a charming steampunk/horror/whatever look?

YES I DID.

And to think, I'm not even actually done with the novel yet! But alas, my brain can take no more. I'm taking a week off of writing.
Or thinking.
Or....everything.

Time to sleep.

Well. It might not be as much as I would like, but at least it's finally coming along.

Tam seriously needs to stop being stupid. Hopefully the big reveal that's coming up from Adrian will let him act more like how he was in high school. *sighs* Silly, banal MCs.

This are not going as planned at all. Of course, trust my daft characters to decide to take matters into their own hands. One wants to spend a chapter drinking, the other demands a bigger role...so much for my chapter outlines.

At least I have tomorrow to try to catch up a bit. Migrane set in for tonight, so I doubt I'll get much, if anything, done.

Oh shoot I'm behind I'm behind I'm behind I knew this was going to happen...

Ah, well, I'll catch up. And I seem to be coming up with some pretty insane (and rather amusing) things that I wasn't quite expecting. So it's coming along. Now to stop procrastinating!

So now it's official. I'm going to be attempting to do the JulNoWriMo contest. Lords have mercy on my poor soul, eh?

I only got 553 words done last night, due to work and exhaustion and things of that nature, and then this morning, I realized that my story is completely stalled. *sigh* So I'm switching to another idea and seeing if that works better.

Adrian's insisted on being in whatever I do, which is a tad bit annoying, as he is so mercurial at the best of times...

Time for me to stop procrastining, eh?
