In addition to going to Target* and acquiring black leggings with pink and grey bats on them (Halloween PJs, yay!), today I:
- Did the final read-through of my story for Steampunk Tales issue 9 and sent it off to my editor. Final word count: 4,615 words.
- Wrote 2,196 words on the mysterious fiction project I'm not talking about. (I know, I'm silly, but I have not yet gotten to a point where I feel comfortable talking about it except to very small group of people. Heck, I've only just gotten to the point where I feel like I can talk about it at ALL.) For my next trick, I need to keep up that sort of word count on it every few days! I can do that! (Um, I think.)
And yesterday I altered my Bauhaus "Bela Lugosi's Dead" t-shirt, giving it a lace-trimmed, scooped neckline and completely re-constructing the sleeves. The Infamous BlueJay would have been so proud of me meticulously pinning the sleeves in place. (The Infamous BlueJay very recently gave me lessons in sewing sleeves. She's threatening to teach me how to make blouses next.)
*The Halloween merchandise is not out yet. The Target employee I talked to said that Halloween would go up after Back-To-School comes down. So what, a week? Maybe?

Re: Point of encouragement
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Um. Yes, that's been my experience, which is WHY I'm being so protective of this particular project. You're absolutely right.

You are very lucky to have Target, etc. available to you for Halloween goodies! It's so minimal over here. But I celebrate the heck out of it anyway. :)
Hooray for Halloween!
