Halloween is coming up, and I've got to pull the costume idea i have together.
I'm not just doing that however. I'm making a list and checking it way more than twice.
But I'm optemistic and enthusiastic.
Though I'm not sure I'm ready for Nanowrimo.
Got lot's to do in the last steps of the year, but it promises to be an interesting years end no matter what. I've done a lot of things this year and am looking to finish off a lot more.
Ever onward
take care of yourselves,

Some things to think about
I'm wondering if my avoidance of e-bay due to past experiances is unduely cutting off a wider sale market for some of my creations.
I beginning to see that etsy stores are a bit more like the local leauge craft outlets rather than a wider cast sale potential.
I'm thinking that sales of some of my items on e-bay might be easier to do. But that makes me think about something else.
Am I to do these sale on my existing personal account that I havn't touched in years for the most part, or do I start a new account Roving Jack, as I am sure you may be aware my mama didn't name me Roving and Jack isn't our family name.
Also I'm thinking about biting the bullet and investing in some materials I need to do a project that really appeals to me, actually it would be several recurring potentially saleable projects, despite the fact that I'm just barely out of the struggles so recently. And still dealing with the paperwork and beurocracies.
And I'm thinking about a few pet story ideas for Nanowrimo.org
I've got something like seven stories in various states of formed ideas, and I'm fairly certain I cannot get them all done in November.
I'm thinking that I might Start with a short idea and get it done as fast as possible, something like complete the story (likely less than 50,000 word in length) by thursday that first week. Then do a weekend 50,000 novel like I did last nano. Then finish up and lost word count during the week, and then another 50,000 the next weekend. If that fails to be likely I will just pound away and see if I can get through the two in the month. Failing that Finishing one will still be victory enough for me.
I've also been thinking of something of a cook book, a really unconventional cook book... d'oh make that two unconventional cook books, thank you muses.
Lot's to think about,

stupid holiday
it certainly isn't holy, other than being a holy pain in the rump. Okay so the real problem is more of a matter that I didn't know it was a holiday until I'd done all the house work and some sorting and organising of things I reserve for trash day just because it makes cleaning the mess easier... only there is no trash pick up as I discovered when I went to take the trash out at this unkindly hour.
No recycling either, nor is the slow and less than effectual roofing repair guy likely to be finished blocking my parking, nor filling our rubbish bins with his materials.
Oh and the government offices I need to talk to about some stuff is closed as is the town hall where I need to go to file forms for the yard sale that should have been done two months ago but the other parties didn't have time to get it taken care of, and then just as I began to force the issue of getting it done (I started my prep when we said we would do it... in august) before it's too late, they both back out.
Why thank you, that's so helpful. Especially because if you had just admitted this earlier I could have done it in August like the original plan.
Not to self, any plan that requires working out details with more than one other person, is a bad plan. I have yet to find anybody capable of doing these things in a way that doesn't involve me fudging my schedual around for weeks trying to accomidate things that folks ultimately back out of anyway.
So you know what, I'm'a gonna do myself.

Okay so...
okay so I've not really managed to master this just back in at full speed thing. I feel like I'm fighting myself on some of it.
The I did start the Human Braille-Ts line on cafe press, much to my own personal amusement.
I'm beginning to create things again, and I just need to get back into regularly drawing my web comics.
The starting of the pattern is the hardest part but I think once I get going I'll be able to do it right.
I'm also studying. Sounds strange that while I'm not in school of takeing any courses I study, but I enjoy learning and discovering how much I can learn.
I should probably sit down and give serious thought to my novel for Nanowrimo this year too.
But first sleep is needed.
