Halloween, etc.

mollyringleApologies for my limited LJ presence lately. Having a child who can scoot with increasing speed and agility around the house, along with a house whose layout seems to have been designed specifically to make babyproofing very difficult, keeps you busy. Also, I've been good and have actually been writing during his naps, and finished a novel the other day. 83,000 words, a true Young Adult/Urban Fantasy this time (actual high schoolers, no naughty language or rampant sex). So now it's in quarantine for two months and I shall not look at it or think of it, and will come back to it in January to see how it reads after that. And then I'll need some good hard feedback from others, probably. But that's all ahead of us.
Anyway, this was nearly the extent of the Halloween dress-up at our house: a baby alligator and me wearing black. First time in memory that I haven't had a costume, but I wasn't going anywhere, and these days life is about keeping things uncomplicated. While, of course, trying to write novels on the side.
No, I'm not doing NaNoWriMo. That would qualify as complication. But I will be rewriting other novels. For me, in some sense, it's ALWAYS novel writing month. But until I quit using British spelling where it's called for, I'm never getting published; never, I tell you! (Should I tell the reviewers they misspelled their own website in their form rejection letter? Or would that just look bitter?)

Heeheee.....I'll be doing some brainstorming for that dream cast. I would be most honoured to be an extra.....I could be "girl in pink shirt walking back and forth" or something. *grin*
