But the sparkly vampire goats really caught our imagination last year. (Still pleased with the fact that I could work it into my story.)

I don't think we should go for such a theme now unless we come across one that really excites us.

Oh yeah, I agree. I don't want to have a theme forced on me. I just like the inspiration! I can always write Lovecraftian spacepunk in space for another story that isn't Sisyphus.

Just as I was reading this, a Christmas commercial popped up on the TV, complete with music and sleigh bells. Ugh.

My mom just sent me a video of a Christmas tree being delivered by Santa to the Biltmore house. Poor Halloween's just holding on to its place by the skin of its teeth.

(Say the girl who finished her Christmas shopping last night... >_>)

I don't have to worry about Thanksgiving OR Hallowe'en here. I've been planning my 'assault' on Christmas since early October. :D Have all the 'big' present shopping done (just gotta wait for it to be delivered now) - only bits and pieces left to do. AND I started the baking yesterday. I love having a chest freezer.

Also... closer to sisyfus time! :hooray: Been mulling over what sort of story I want this year... and changing my mind every other day. :ROFL:

Just wanted to mention that I just sold Firebird, my 2015 (I think) Sisyfus story. So hooray!

Honey, I'm Canadian. We've had Thanksgiving.

:greenie

On a Canuck note, I just found out, as something of a fast food aficionado, that Americans who eat at Taco Bell, are only, just now, getting french fries added to their menu. I was astounded. For years I've been having a concoction called "Fries Supreme" at my nearby Bell, and enjoying the low level cancerous stomach ache that comes about 45 minutes after consumption. I had no idea it was strictly a Canadian thing.

Unimportant details! :shakefist: For you Cannuks then, let's say November 25th.

No, I'm not looking up the date of American Thanksgiving to see if those even nearly line up.

Yay mrsmig!

*high pitched scream, runs around flailing arms*

One month already? Aaaah! That means I *have* to finish The Monolith Epic Science Fantasy Novel THIS YEAR so I can concentrate on Sisyphus. Really brings home that deadline...

Also congratulations mrsmig! That's great!
