I'm not one of those people who likes to start Christmas in November, we usually don't put our decorations up until at least two weeks before Christmas, but we did visit our local garden centre at the weekend,
and it was looking very festive and cheery with model reindeer, lifelike deer and woodland animals that move realistically, Christmas trees, and lots of decorations and ornaments, as well as 'real' Christmas trees for sale, and Christmas plants and gifts. It made a nice change from the miserable weather, anyway!
Hello from a rather damp grey and miserable Britain! I hope December has some of those lovely dry crisp and frosty days, especially with Christmas approaching.
I verified my wordcount at 50,260 words for National Novel Writing Month (My 'Winners' badge is in the sidebar to prove it!) My novel is provisionally called 'Spooked' although this might change. This is the rough cover I made for inspiration, and as you might gather it is a 'horsey' story, but that's all I'm saying at the moment. It's very, very rough. I hope to add some more words before NaNo officially finishes, but there will be an awful lot of revision needed before it's fit to be seen. That's what I love about NaNo though, it compels one to keep writing and make sure that pesky 'internal editor' stays locked up while you get the story down! It was only ever going to be a short novel, so I won't need much in the way of extra words, but I'm probably going to cut a lot and do a fair bit of substituting 'bad' sentences for better ones (I hope)
