Winter is coming! No, it hasn’t started snowing (yikes, it’s early for that), but the weather turned. It’s chilly now.

I get cold fast and stay cold; warming back up is hard for me. Something about being cold always makes me want to nap – just curl up into a ball inside a pile of blankets and snooze. I’m not letting myself do it because if I do, I never get anything done, but wow, the urge is rough when the weather first gets colder. Thank goodness for thick socks and heavy sweatshirts.

I’m also working on several new stories, which is exciting. I spent a lot of this year in something like a fugue state, staring at the increasing misery around us. I think I’m finally coming out of it! I’ve got story ideas flowing, my characters are talking in my head again, I got several novel outlines finished. Now, I just need to see how much writing I can get done before the end of the year. It would be fun to publish a novella this year, I think.

I can hear the hens yelling for snacks outside, so it’s time to go feed them. I’m spending today in my recording closet, recording chapters of a fic to post. I’m going to get some audio editing done, as well.

I wonder what I’m making for dinner.
