There is no subject, only Zuul

And this is why I will never ever succeed at NaNo, besides my own natural slowness: November is full of stuff. Finally, though, more wordcount. I'd been stuck for days on a particular scene, only to realize that it was because I was in the wrong POV. Oops.

Dreams of Shreds & Tatters

13840 / 80000 words. 17% done!

I really should spend this between-novels time to finish some damn short stories. "Flood" remains as it has for years--one plot point away from completion. "Salt" is also starting to grow on me: He's a conflicted gun-slinging deep one living on borrowed time. He's a well-dressed apostate ghoul with a past. They commit crime!

In other news, Melancholia is a beautiful if slightly uneven film, the first half a trainwreck and the second the whimper with which the world ends. I will forgive it a lot of unevenness for being so very beautiful.

Many people I have spoken to on the subject mention January as a better month for writing.

You can do it! Keep writing! And yes, November is rather full of stuff, but what's one to do?

Also: absolute subject WIN.

I can finish the book, sure. Just not in November. (Or any other single month, for that matter.)

Long as it's finished. *massages brain*

... I still love this subject line. :D

Melancholia stuck with me for weeks after seeing it, despite the yawnfest moments. Its bookend scenes particularly. I also loved the very very very end, with the music and then the not. I liked that effect.
