ooo, erika. I'd change one word. Hurt to disappointed in the last line--it's more telling.
Or am I reading something in you didn't intend? Again?
But that's just my point! You she obeys! She obeys you! There's obeying going on right under my nose!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

If you are, then I am, too, Bev. I'm surprised at how many of these drabbles have taken a dark turn. I'm enjoying the heck out of them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
NaNoWriMo has opened.
I'm scared.

What is even happening?
But it's not No yet. It's still just O. They should call it NaOWriMo, for the nonce.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It doesn't stand for November. It stands for Novel.

Oh, that's right. It's so linked with November in my mind, I'd forgotten that.
sheesh, can't even be truthy around here

Punishingly Intricate
It's so linked with November in my mind, I'd forgotten that.
Yes, I thought the Mo was always No.
At any rate, I think that I'm going to fail to do it again this year!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It starts Nov 1, but you can sign up now (I'm looking at doing it with my class)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hey, new and exciting failure options! This year I have absolutely no chance of getting it done, because I'm going to be traveling three out of the four available weeks. So I should try it! No pressure, right? And who knows, maybe I'll get a ton of writing done sitting at my convention booth.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That's how I feel: I'm almost certain to fail, so: no pressure! Also, it's impossible to write anything good that fast, so: I can suck!
Except I can't convince myself that it's okay to (a) fail, (b) suck, and (c) do both at the same time.
Perfectionism is the reason I don't write, and the reason I should do NaNoWriMo, and the reason I probably won't.
I suck.
