So after a brief hiatus (during which pretty much all of my writing projects have ground to a halt, so don't feel left out), I'm posting on here again!

So after leaving my full time job I've taken a couple weeks to just get my house in order so to speak, and it's... going reasonably well, all in all. I have enough money saved to tide me over until I get back in employment (hopefully) with freelancing to paper over the cracks (again, hopefully, not going brilliantly so far, but ho hum). In the meantime, I've been mostly doing admin regarding my name change, right now I need to get my passport updated. Which is a bit like getting blood from a stone, but such is life!

I've also spent time sorting out my schedule for the next few weeks (watch me mess that up, hah) as well as exploring my options when it comes to furthering my education, and of course employment, but more of that as the month progresses (I should know - it's in the schedule!) NaNoWriMo has kinda not happened either, again because of the whole writing thing grinding to a halt, but it's another thing I need to look into. NaNoWriHalfMo.

So yeah, that's where I am now! More to follow, hopefully!

Gonna put this up here because I like it!

So yeah, I (badly) carved these pumpkins for Halloween! Well, strictly speaking I carved them the day after Halloween, as on Halloween itself I was still on a comedown from Comic Con, but the good news is that that meant I was able to pick these up for free, as the supermarket had overstocked for Halloween! Turns out, nobody buys pumpkins in this country normally. Who knew. And whoever said there was no such thing as a free lunch!

...Which reminds me the pumpkin innards are still in a tub in the fridge. I doubt they keep long. It was a nice thought, but I don't really know what to do with that. I don't dare open the tub up tonight, and isn't that the real meaning of a Halloween fright?
