Writer's Block: Trick or treat

No I don't. In fact the last time I dressed up for hallowe'en I was ten. It's not something we do here unless one has small children who are demanding to trick or treat just like the supermarkets have decided they are supposed to.


Nanonwrimo. I think I might try that this year, unofficially, of course. I just need to decide which of the plans I've got to expand. Or maybe half a Nano again? Sod it, if you don't try you can't fail.

Or unless you're a uni student! :P

(I'll have a total of three outfits next week...though admittedly one is just a variation on another.)

Oh yes, my daughter is planning all kinds of festivals.

We used to do Hallowe'en parties when I was young - very apple-fixated and with lots of games involving apples and string and water, but we didn't go outside much. Far too unpleasantly damp and chilly.

Young Gabe will be dressed as a knight! I shall make him a helmet from an old Quaker Oats box. :D

re: NaNoWriMo-- still not writing to any purpose, me. However, my pal Dee and I have been playing a game: you write descriptions of someone you both know-- friends and family fair game-- as if they were characters in a novel. Sometimes the exercise itself is the goal, sometimes it's guessing who is being described. Kinda fun.

If you do not try, you do not succeed either, hun. Give it a go and I bet you'd be surprised with the result...

No I don't.

What a shame. If you went as one of the Scythian archers from your icon and gave people the impression that you know how to use that bow, trick-or-treating might be very successful. ;)

Over here, Halloween has only become popular in the course of the last decade, and I dread it (the last years brought an overabundance of foul eggs hitting our house and a completely destroyed fence, even though we do keep some sweets at hand).
