Snow

Winter WindowIt snowed last night! I watch the white wisps drift gently down to their companions below. Frost and water droplets form on the windows. I sit wrapped in a warm and fuzzy blanket, warm cup of cider close by.

I’m such a kid when it comes to snow. There’s just something about that blanket of white, watching it fall gracefully from the sky, or whip across the surface of the world in a big gust of wind.

It’s so peaceful, cold and frozen, but so much hope. It makes staying in that much more safe and cozy feeling, and going out that much more of an adventure.

Then of course there are snowball fights, snowmen, sledding, skating, and the like. Even shoveling isn’t that bad. It’s exercise, right? Plus there’s the added benefit of the crisp, fresh air that circulates only this time of year.

Day One

Phew, what a busy day today! I feel like I’ve been going non stop. I have to say, I’m rather unimpressed with myself so far.

My official NaNoWriMo word count thus far today is 150. Yep, not even 200. I have to jump on this if I’m going to make it up, and tomorrow’s another busy day.

The introvert in me is just whining, “pleeeaasssee, just let me sit alone with a cup of tea and a blanket. Maybe a pen and some paper on the side, thank you.”

Which is probably exactly what I’ll do when I’m finished typing this post.

It’s good though. It means that even if I’m not off to the best start, there’s still time. I’m not giving up yet.

(But I’ll have to get back to you tomorrow to be sure.)
