How is it that only a few hours into the time change I’m already feeling the oppressive seasonal depression of shorter days and less sunlight?
On a happier note, thus far NaNoWriMo is going along swimmingly. I’m 9382 words into my project without a stumble. And what’s more? They’re in sequence! I’m notoriously bad about writing scenes out of sequence and then trying to connect them. I know most writers will jot down a few ideas for future passages so they won’t forget them but I’m worse than that. I’ll get bored at chapter 3 and then way ahead and write on from there. Not so bad until I then have to go back and force where I left off to wed where I pick up.
Apologies for the brevity but I’m vacationing later this week and have to get in another 8 or 9K words before Thursday.
I hope to have access to a computer on Sunday but if not, I’ll return Nov 18!
Happy Writing!

Bethany,
I'm with you. I don't like change.
I hope you have a great vacation.

Well, I am the eternal optimist. I think of all the things I can do in that extra hour like read a good book! Also, I love change and a challenge! Call me weird!

I hate shorter days too. I like the sun on both ends of the day, LOL. But then I'm not out jogging in the morning either :)
I hate shorter writing days. I used to get up at 6:00 a.m. to write a few hours before the kids get up and my brain turns to cottage cheese. But the kids aren't on the new schedule. Instead of getting up at 8:00, they're up at 7:00 a.m.
Sesame Street needs to do a public service announcement ... stay in bed and keep your mother sane.
I guess I'm alone in loving the time change. Lol! I write better when it's dark out.
Enjoy your vacation, Bethany! Where are you off to?

I agree with you!
