Update!

I know I originally said I was going to aim for 75,000 words this November, BUT I've taken it down to 70,000 because the last thing I need is a lot of stress. I am currently at 45, 287 words and there is still a hell of a lot to happen. I don't even know how my character's going to get out of her current situation yet, but, ya'know, I'll figure it out.

In the meantime, I hope you guys are doing well in terms of word counts. Feel free to let know and have a 30 second poem on Winter.

Winter

Cold nights

nip at your toes

and bites

at your ankles.

Wrap up warm

grab a hot drink

get underneath

that blanket and stay.

The leaves are gone

and the trees are bare.

But still they wave

as you walk on by.

Puddles grow

and begin to freeze

forced to change

with the weather.

Snow may fall

or it may not,

but the white flakes

sprinkle their dust everywhere.

A look of wonder 

fills the horizon.

It gets darker

so get in sooner

but do not reject

those clear cold nights.

Look up at the sky

and see the stars

and moon.

Bright and inviting

despite the cold.
