keiliss: (summer by roxicons)
[personal profile] keiliss
The weather's been reasonable this week since the hailstorm last weekend (we don't tend to have much hail down here, that's a Johannesburg thing), but when I woke around 7 this morning and saw the haze I knew summer had arrived. 34C! The dogs and I are trying to find a cool spot, but there isn't one. The cats don't seem to care, but that's cats for you.

Today was the day of the Great Writing Push. Dunno so much about that, my brain is melting. Though mind, isn't the NaNo thing all about bypassing the brain and just letting the words flow? Ha. Flow? Trickle maybe. Ooze sullenly.

And there you go. Your words have indeed oozed onto an electronic page. Why not just ask one of those basking cats to take over your writing duties for the day - LOL?

I think they could probably do a better job than I would right now, LOL. Good idea!

Ah, 34C... Here's only about 15, but saying that, it's been a wonderful golden autumn morning after the fog burnt away.

Great Writing Push? Sounds painful, don't hurt yourself...

15 - autumn - I am soooo envious! That sounds perfect.

I'll be okay so long as the fic doesn't push back and flatten me :| I have no idea what made me think NaNo was a good idea this year.

We had our first big frost of the year a couple of days ago, and the rain has beaten all the leaves off the trees. **sigh** Still beats the heck out of high summer, though. I am definitely an autumn person.

I hope the words speed up for you, darling. You are a brave woman!

**loves**

It's nice to be reminded that while it is cold here, someone else is hot! I detest the high heat. Wish I could package some cold to you!
*hugs*

OMG it's so cold here... it snowed this morning and it's supposed to get down in the low 20's (Fahrenheit) tonight!

I want some ice cream but I'm too cold, lol!

Nope. Foolish woman, overly ambitious :( There were words. One day I shall read them back and cringe! What was I thinking?

Wish it could be autumn forever. (I owe you an email - NaNo is messing with everything.)

A little cold, a hint of snow on the air, would be very welcome :D I am so not a summer person!

*hugs*

I ate lots of choc-mint ice cream yesterday - it only helped for a little, but at least for that while there was a hint of cool, lol. I'm sorry you're cold, sweetie *hugs*

Wow, I hate sudden temperature changes. I do hope your summer is milder than our was. Heat indexes over 110 F. In Iowa.

I admire you guys that are brave enough to try the Nano. And I know you can do it! *grabs pom poms*

The only thing that is flowing are our noses. Words refuse to flow here now that Mr flu has parked its bag and has refused to leave. So no Nanowrimo, no big bang.. Bah!

But!!!

Let me do the crazy pom pom shakin' dance for you!

*shakydeshakey*

Whatever you work on.. go for it!
