Going back to doing the thing...

[spindle_ella]

 ...Now that NaNo's done.

Currently Reading:

Still slogging through Fear, by Bob Woodward.  It's interesting, it's just long and has a lot of information to take in.  I've finished Hidden Nature, Alys Fowler's memoir, since the last time I did this, which was great.  It had totally passed me by that she'd come out; the book is about both that (and the subsequent break-up of her marriage), along with exploring the canals and the nature there.  Very poignant, I enjoyed it.

Writing:

I burned out a bit after finishing NaNo, so I think I've only done about 1k this week.  I need to do something like 14k to get past 200,000 for the year though, so I may try for that.  What I've done has been urban fantasy projects, some on the crime thriller, some on the Little Mermaid thing.

Crafting:

Just notebooks for the shop.  I close for Christmas tomorrow, so may get something different done over the next couple of weeks (I close to avoid the stress of last minute panic buyers who don't look at things like 'made to order' or 'shipping times', and reopen Christmas morning for the people with vouchers.  It works for me).

General Health/Mood:

Pretty decent, actually.  I'm tired and achy from working, but moodwise I'm staying up.

Miscellaneous:

Just added more people from various friending memes without commenting because I didn't know what to say, so if you're taking a look Hi Person, Hi!

Vid of the Week:

"Kyla La Grange - Walk Through Walls" (Watch on YouTube)

I've also done a bunch of subscribing without comments, so no worries there. Hello!

[spindle_ella]

Hello! I ran out of variations on 'friends?'.

[howsmyenglish]

Hi! :)

[spindle_ella]

Hello, hello!

[notasupervillain]

Glad you're writing again!

[spindle_ella]

Thank you! Need to ramp it up some though.

[notasupervillain]

It'll come.

Probably on the novel you don't mean to work on, but it'll come...

[spindle_ella]

Yeah, I wanted to get the crime thriller finished this year to start editing in January, and, well, oops >.>

[notasupervillain]

The best laid plans...

[spindle_ella]

I touched it, it went boo-boo XD

[divinemusings]

That looks like a good writing goal. <3

[spindle_ella]

Thanks! Hoping I can hit it :D

[cornerofmadness]

Good luck with the writing

[spindle_ella]

Thank you!

[tomakeanoffer]

Ooooh, I am totally interested in cheering you on with the writing things! Also, I think it's terribly neat that you make notebooks.

[spindle_ella]

Thank you! Heh, I started off with making them for myself, and then accidentally a business.

[tomakeanoffer]

That's really neat, honestly. I have a lot of things I want to make happen that I could, I just need to start learning how to do it.

[spindle_ella]

Luck was a big part for me. Whenever the new etsy sellers ask how long they should expect to wait before their first sale I don't comment, because I was still setting up when my shop sold out. I thought I'd cocked something up, had to go calm down for an hour before I could bring myself to start over, and then when I got back I noticed that there was stuff under the 'sold out' tab.

That is such a great idea!

[spindle_ella]

Saves so much bother. I've already had to cancel a couple of orders because they tacked on "must be here in time for Christmas!" and I'm like "I can't guarantee international post like that." It only gets worse closer to the date.
