HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Well, two months without a post. I am a terrible blogger! It has been quite busy. Grad school finally started feeling like grad school. Lots of assignments on top of field work and both of my part time jobs. I have barely had enough time to sleep. 

November is looking to be a better month. My 38 hours of field work are complete and now I just need to write my summaries and reflections on what I observed and how I participated. I worked at Gar-Field High School and the Fairfax Juvenile Detention Center. It was very informative and fun. Hopefully after this semester is over I will be able to share some of my experiences here. 

So to catch up: 

Dragon*Con was fun, I sadly was sick pretty much the whole weekend, but I spent a lot of time with Preston and Katy, so that was good. Here is me as Kaylee and Preston as Badger. 


Earlier this month I met Rainbow Rowell, a wonderful YA author. This was an awesome experience. She was AMAZING! Read her books!


And today is my favorite holiday, Halloween!! I decided to dress up as a scary clown in memory of Twisty the Clown from American Horror Story. Yes. He was my favorite character... I have a thing for the sympathetic villain. What can I say? Preston was Badger in a kilt. So handsome :D

   

I think that covers some highlights of the past two months. Though there is loads more to talk about, I sadly missed by chance. I need to keep moving forward! So to keep myself on track and since next month is NaNoWriMo, I'm going to attempt a 30 day writing challenge. This is one I found on a random challenge site. I have a one word prompt everyday.


Starting tomorrow I will be posting a short story everyday. I probably will have little time to fully revise them, so please be nice, I'm quite shy about sharing any of my writing. 

I think with a schedule like this: 



I should be able to handle the challenge, especially since my schoolwork will be lessening a bit (in theory...I still have a unit plan to revise). 

So that is that, I'm sorry for such a long delay. I hope you all have had a wonderful Halloween, I'm gonna go crawl into bed with my Preston, eat candy and maybe watch a scary movie. 

Nighty Night!
