Well, Halloween is tomorrow, and my costume is still only half sorted. Oops. It is my fault I know, I over slept today (by a considerable amount) and am now left bereft of my mother’s skilled hands and with only fabric and patterns to stare at. The fabric is shiny though, so it can be quite entertaining to look at but that is entirely irrelevant.
And after Halloween, after the trick or treating, the sweets, the boisterous costumes and undoubtedly loud and plentiful laughs, my friends and I shall settle down, with laptops, pens and notebooks strewn across the bedroom floor and count the seconds until midnight befalls us and our literary abandon can begin, when Nation Novel Writing Month will finally be upon us.
Wish us luck!
