October Wrap Up: Books Read, Posts Written, NaNoWriMo (??), Life Updates, And More!

whAT a MoNtH. 

So I said that I was back???! and then I didn’t post again until now so that was semi-FAKE NEWS. 

Anyway, I’m here now (obviously you all missed me greatly). October was… a time. And while I had a nice ol break towards the end of the month, I still feel like a zombie, but… nothing new there.

so hello. let’s whine about October together.

TOP POSTS:

(ie the one post that i posted last month)

I actually really enjoyed writing this post and screaming about what I haven’t read yet!! I’ve really missed blogging and talking to you guys!!!!!!!

Because I still have no inspiration for posts, I’m still welcome to prompts:

BOOKS READ / BOOK HAUL:

I read nothing!!

fun!! So literally all I’ve been reading is Never Let Me Go and Frankenstein for English Lit and some poetry…

YES, I am ashamed at myself.

no, I don’t really care that much???? It was actually really nice (at first) to take a bit of a break, and just relax, but because it’s been going on for literally two and a half months now, I’m getting a teensy bit FED UP.

I’M IN THE BIGGEST SLUMP. CAN IT DIE?

(guys, future me: it’s dead!!!!!!)

I’ve also bought no books??? not since August??? which has been great for my bank account,,, not so much for my book-buying obsessed brain.

I can never decide what to buy??? And then I end up adding 7 books to my basket and???????? I CAN’T GET THAT MANY but I. CAN’T. EVER. NARROW. IT. DOWN.

NANO:

Right.

story time: last year I didn’t participate even though I REALLY wanted to. So this year I’m going to do a mini-test-run thing. I’ve basically got this Sport Wip THING that I’ve been working on for a bit,,, so I’ve decided that I’M going to work on that as much as I can this month rather than doing nano really seriously and see if I can get around 50k because, with my Ghost Wip that I’ve been writing, I’ve reached about 25k.

future me: f*ck the Sport wip thing, GHOSTS ALL THE WAY!!!

That Ghost Wip is my child and I FREAKING LOVE IT EVEN THOUGH IT’S ALL A MESS.

I really want to do Nano but it’s just SO HARD!! and I know that I’ll be flimsy as a crisp and crumble under all the pressure and be a waste of a potato. Honestly, guys. I’m compactly built, ie small, & I can’t handle things. I’m an Anger-Smol, not an Able-To-Cope-With-Pressure-Smol. 

READ MORE ABOUT MY WIP HERE (teeny snippet). OKAY NOW, I’M REALISING HOW LITTLE I’VE SPOKEN ABOUT MY WIP AND jsgnjg.

main points:

• a town called Blackwater
• massacres (in the past!!)
• Ghosts!!
• 4 smol tol boys.
• Aldred Buckley III, Lars Driscoll, Joshua Williams, Grant Mac Ghabhann. <– my sons.
• angry ghosts!! (grant’s a ghost but not an angry one!!)
• town!! funky lake that channels death!! deaths!! angst!!
• I’m great at describing my wip!!
• I think it’s clear I have no clue what’s going on in this wip.
• basically angry ghosts take over and kill some people and 3 boys Figure Shit Out with the help of GRANT, a smol-ghost-boy who is an angle.
• that’s basically it with a load of freaky shit in between.
• be warned: lots of gay.
