even the darkest night will end

October has been full. of discovering new music that hits your soul hard, of reading phenomenal novels, of a road-trip adventure with some of my favorite people to Comic-Con and family visits. of learning, learning, learning, to relish challenge, change, sanctification. it hasn't been easy. i wanted to 'feel autumn' more. on the way home from my trip, i didn't want to return to 'real life.' but this is all real life. and it's mine, and it is glorious.

songs: these are the days secret weapon the soldier criminal we'll be okay

assassin's creed - noveling music!!

here is me at Comic-Con!!

books:

Scorpio Races, wooww that author is talented. the haunting, raw BEAUTY of that novel...sheesh.

soo tomorrow is November 1st and i'm not exactly sure what i'm doing because i'm very unprepared but FIFTY THOUSAND WORDS HERE I COME.

i've done it before, i can do it again, right?

(college homework whispers *what are you thinking?*)

NOPE. i'm doing it.

i dreamt of my MC guy recently and woke up physically feeling how much i love that dude. and it made me realize - one of the reasons i'm writing this novel is because i love my characters so much. they don't deserve me beating myself down about my writing, doubting myself, comparing myself... but they are okay with a crappy first draft.

no one else can write this but me,

and to all you brave souls out there who are attempting to conquer those 50k words as well, 

the same goes for you.

guyyss thank you SO much for each comment left on my posts. every time i read a new one i kind of sit there screaming silently with a big smile on my face. kind of reeling in disbelief still to hear such precious things about my writing.
