One month until Christmas! Whee!

I don't like Christmas. Not at all. It's not my favorite holiday or anything like that.

Only another week before we can get a Christmas tree! Woo!

Have I bought any presents yet? No, but that's okay. I know what I'm getting some people, and I have ideas for some others, so I'll just keep looking. I'm a big fan of finding the perfect present, listening to conversations for weeks beforehand to get the perfect idea, and then getting something unexpected, but still really fun. I'm not a huge one for just buying someone a cd, although if I know that it's something they really want, I'll get that... Usually, though, I try to get something fun and really unique.

And hey... just for fun. If you want to look at this and give it a shot...

One year ago today: And, despite staying up that late, did I get any writing done yesterday? Very little... I have to really power down today to get back on track. And I have to finish this novel. I just don't have a choice anymore. I can't have come this far and have well over 35,000 words written, and have made it all the way through tech week, still on target, and then just leave it. It's not gonna happen. I'll pull all-nighters all week if I have to, but I will finish this novel, and I'll finish it by Saturday.
