Happy Halloween, Countdown to Nano

Happy Halloween, everyone! (I'm not actually observing it in any way this year, but still, it's an uncommonly nifty holiday.)

And I'm counting down to Nanowrimo now (8 hours!). In the past week it got so close that I gave in to perverse incentives and decided to save the things I wanted to write until it starts, so they could go into my word-count. The angsty Natsume Yuujinchou 'fic seems to have gotten first in line. (It is a bit embarrassing, though, to post the first bit of flyingpast*fallingtoward only to break down on it for awhile...) I probably will not be live-blogging my daily output this year like I did last, but since I'm planning on doing some short stories, I'll try to post them somewhat promptly when I get them done.

I am a bit nervous; last time I tried to do it two years in a row I flamed out badly on the second one, but it was a very different kind of case than this time, just have to stand up to my own self-doubt and perfectionism...

Good luck to anyone else on my list participating in Nanowrimo or Nanomango!
