Cocktails by the Blood Sea

And this one, I feel like I got the color adjustment on the ocean *just right*.

Having a rough time of it lately. Today, especially, as the Bad Brain has reared its ugly head for the first time in weeks. I lay it at the feet of this head cold that I cannot seem to shake, as the training for the marathon has left me feeling pretty balanced. But it’s hard to stay in positive headspace when full of snot.

I’m cranking away on wordcount for NaNo, which is gratifying, though I am off my own personal pace today. But if it keeps rolling like it is, I should crack 31K today, gods willing.

My friend, Vicky Jo, said something very cool to me when I told her about my state of Now What? She said something to the effect of it being fertile ground for something new to appear. And to ask myself: “Wouldn’t it be nice if…?”

It’s been a great help and it’s given me some tiny directions to go in. And today’s tiny direction is to get sushi for lunch and pound more words on this novel that seems hell-bent on unsettling the crap out of me.
