Hello Friends
I have scheduled the first flash for December, Comfort and Joy, which will appear on December 01. I am already working on the next one for December 02. I’ll be working on a few December flashes before I go on to update Our So-Called Life. I’m about to get a little angsty with that one.
In other news, I saw Addams Family in the theater on Tuesday. It was cute. This weekend I have a three day weekend as I scheduled myself off for Monday. This was originally the Morro Bay weekend that I had to cancel. I didn’t cancel my day off though. I hope to get some writing in this weekend for December etc. I may also go to the dentist.
Our garage gets done on Wednesday the 23rd. M will be home dealing with that. Two months later.
I have a Halloween Party on October 26th. Then I also have off October 28 and 29 to go somewhere with my sister and mother. It’s just an overnight trip to the Solvang area for some casino, dining, and wine tasting, but I was invited to go (asked to go really and the sister is paying for everything, so how could I not?). Obviously that means that weekend not much writing will be done.
I have much much writing ahead of me though so I have to get working on all this or drive myself crazy. For one of those days in December I may take an old posted and deleted Pinto Christmas short and expand it just a wee bit so I can call it new! HA.
After Our So-Called Life, for AO3 updating, I will be back to My Vulcan Who Fell to the Earth.
And then of course there’s still work and you know life stuff. I am crazed. Some of those December flashes will be short, just so you know.
Fall Guys continue tomorrow.

So, there are 2 people who, on Tumblr, announced to the world they would be writing 1 fic a day for summer, one for 100 fics, and the other just to practice their writing. The first writer – wrote 3, the last of which was after several days of none, and her AN pretty much said, F*** you, and she’s, as far as I know, never written another fic. The 2nd wrote maybe 5, only little spirks, and then….uh…..well, you know. Including no update on her “hiatus” fic that hadn’t been updated since before Christmas, and she swore she’d pick it back up in summer…and…no.
And here, YOU not only come up with this idea, but don’t even promise. Just say it’s an idea. And it’s mid October and you’re already working on them.
A writer who is not only the best, but also has integrity about their word.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate that.
BTW, it’s ABOUT TIME you get angsty in something. After a million fics, it’s about time you added some angst. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
breathe
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh, and yay for the garage door, plus that you don’t hafta be there. You’ll leave with the old, and arrive back home to the new!

And YES I planned it that way on purpose! I hate dealing with workmen and all that so I was/am thrilled not to have to deal with it! Best part for sure!
Yeah. I mean I had the choice of not even saying, “hey, what if I do a flash for 25 days in December”. If I’d not said that, then there’d be no expectation. So yeah I knew what I was doing when I mentioned it, because who among you was going to say “oh no way, don’t write us more Spirk”. HA HA of course not.
So like I said, some will be short, but I think that’s okay 😀

“Jesus wept.”
Shortest verse in the Bible.
And perhaps the most profound.
Not, Jesus wept because such and such. The verse isn’t fleshed out.
It’s just 2 words.
God as a human weeps.
Feels sadness.
Understands our tears and sadness.
Knows the real root of all of it.
Gave us freedom of choice.
But he just needed 2 words.
So – nothing wrong with brevity, for sure! I don’t relate to it personally, as you see, but still…..

Sorry that you couldn’t make your trip. Hope that you have a relaxing weekend and are ready to enjoy your October. Sounds like you’ll be very busy.
If anyone is up to the self-imposed challenge of writing a fiction every day for Christmas, it would be you. I find it incredible that such a thing is possible. But I’m definitely looking forward to seeing it all.

Yay for keeping the day off. You deserve it. And a weekend away with the sister and the mom.
Woo woo on the fics! Go you. I’m impressed and I can’t wait to read! Short is fine. Especially from you. You pack a lot into a few words.
The whole door thing is killing me but I’m so glad it’s finally getting replaced.

Totally can’t wait for the December flash fics. 🙂
I have seen the new Addams family as well. Went on Monday with sis and mom. Mom slept and I may have shut my eyes for a few moments…still a cute movie though 😀
yay! for the garage door. I read in the comments above that it was intentional that M would be home and you wouldn’t lol I’m guessing M doesn’t mind dealing with the workers then
You gotta wear a costume! C’mon, Ivan! 🙂
