OK I made my word count on the novel today so I am flipping over to the blog for a bit so I can work some stuff out in my head before I go back to the novel.

Caroline and I took down our Halloween decorations today. She was very helpful to me in helping to roll up power cords and hold strands of lights for me until I got them all untied. She looked really cute hauling tombstones onto the porch and stacking them.

I might take a break and get this years Halloween Pictures up on the website. I might pull down some older stuff that is getting on to a year old. The only really old stuff I tend to leave up are the costumes and the art stuff. Someday I am going to figure out how to redo it so the site looks like a real site rather that what I currently have.

I have a chunk of the beginning of the novel up at the Nanowrimo site. My handle for this year is Puppetmaker43 if you care to look at it. Just a reminder this is (currently) not a science fiction or fantasy novel. I'll tell you if it changes tone on me. I do find it daunting that as of tomorrow this novel will be over 10,000 words and is rapidly heading to the longest thing I have ever written. Some day I will get back to the other thing I started because I worked out how that one was going to end. This one is more of an experiment for me.

This next weekend we will be at United Fan Con. We had a blast last year so we decided that we would bring the family up again this year. I am going to get the Doctor Who Puppets fixed up as well as the Fluzzies which will be making an appearance at Peter's table at the convention. Gives me a little time to get some stuff done.

I find it interesting that writing seems to come easiest in the morning which is when I usually do my blog writing. So if I can get my writing in before noon I feel pretty good. Afternoon writing feels like I am pulling teeth. I know that if I ever went pro with this that time of day is going to have to become meaningless since you have a job to do and you have to do it.

I am grateful that Caroline was so much help today.

...and I almost forgot (thinks about handing in her anglophile card)

Happy Guy Fawkes Day (Well considering the time it is probably after midnight in the UK)

Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot;
I know of no reason why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
