araknifaeIf you're seeing me post this a day late... no you're not.
Anyway, not a ton to talk about for work. Watched some mock trials, planned some door decor for our office Halloween door decorating contest, did a little labwork and a lot of stuff on the computer... I did call out on Thursday, though, so one day less than usual.
In personal life, I attended both my region's virtual and in-person NaNo kick-off meetings! They were a little awkward, as expected when a bunch of people come together with only a passion for writing in common, but they were good. It's nice to be around others for a while, even if my social battery was fully drained afterwards. Also, this weekend, I spent the majority of my time working on the door decorations for the office. I definitely started berating myself for offering to do it after only an hour or two, and the end result is sort of dinky, but hey, whatever. Some decorations are better than none.
For writing, I wrote, edited, and posted a Halloween fic based on the GYWO Halloween costume/music prompts "nurse/doctor" and "Goo Goo Muck" (fic found here, warning for some vomit). That is the only reason I made my wordcount goal for the week, but I did make it, so I count that as a win. I did some more editing of my NaNo '22 fic, and the next chapter is ready to be posted as soon as I do one final read-over, which I'm hoping to do before this year's NaNo starts because I doubt I'll have time in Novermber. And I'm definitely looking forward to NaNo, though I think it's going to be a lot harder to write this fic than last year's, so uhhh I don't know about my chances of winnning. Guess we'll find out!
