Chilly here today with a chance of showers. Still might try to squeeze in a walk but we shall see how things shake out.
I think I shall leave my comp participation at the current three stories. My new story is going to be longer than I can get reasonably get done by tomorrow given my perfectionist approach to editing. Perhaps an idea for something in Ultra Short will come to me, though. Those I can do in a day or so based on experience writing micros for another site.
Tea time!
Fine, I take that back. Right after I posted that, I came up with a 100 word poem and just entered it. So that's four now.
I think if I was going to a Halloween party tonight, I would put on a tux, slip a toy gun into a shoulder holster, and carry a gun-metal cigarette case (of candy cigarettes). Sir Sean Connery died at 90. One of my favorite actors of all time. So many great parts, even if he is still chiefly remembered for playing James Bond.
Hmmm. No martini ingredients here so I guess I will have a Scottish Breakfast tea in honour of Connery's beloved homeland (he was an ardent Scottish nationalist).
head empty. no thoughts. just sean.
Why isn't Halloween mistletoe a thing? Or, you know, some kind of equivalent?

The contest may be over, but the waiting and anticipation has just begun...
Cold day here with maybe a cm or so of snow on the ground. Supposed to hit double digits Celsius starting tomorrow so it won't last, but it's winter's warning shot across our bow I think. It's not unknown to get snow here this early but not common either.
Contemplating what to write next. That comp kind of burned out my muse, I think, though I am once again contemplating what to do with the characters and setting I created for Night of the Wind. The Goddess Dances also takes place in that world, but a different region. Still might find an excuse to reference it in another story someday.

Hit a bit of a writing slump right when I didn't need one.
Also missing Anne today for some reason.

Got to find a place I can watch results. Cut the cord last year. I imagine CNN or maybe even CBC will have a livestream tonight. All my best to the Americans on here. You may have a rough month or two ahead politically.
Meeting day at work but I'm on a breather right now. Must get some lunch.
I'm keeping an eye on the results on a couple news services (CNN and The Globe and Mail) but otherwise just doing other stuff. Election night coverage tends to bore me these days. Just endless talk.
