you're not going to slow it down

 Getting close to the end of Blood to Bleed finally I think. The actual ending is written; the epilogue lingers. I never set out to write something quite so long, it just kind of happens. 

Wrapped up my second original novel, too. Cleanup begins in the new year.

Nanowrimo on the way, I have uhhh some rough
ideas
that I should develop a little better but this month is chugging along at breakneck speed in a way I didn't count on.

I still have two editing jobs on my plate that I started midyear, not that I'm complaining, but I'd figured they'd have their whole manuscripts to me by now. I'm making it my Saturday habit, though.  On the other hand, I've been painting watercolor, and I'm enjoying it, but I'd like to get a few more minis painted before I fully commit to that as my artistic go-to. Been volunteering once a week with a horse rescue, just in general I've got more commitments than I usually allow myself but that's just how time goes sometimes, isn't it? 

And beyond that, the wheel in the sky keeps on turning. I have no real time for anything else.
