Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,

I know it's probably not really being a good person to ask for things for myself, but screw it, I'm going to anyway.  If I can spin any positive light on this list, it's that I want these things so I can make other things to share.  If that is agreeable, I shall begin my list.  If it is not agreeable, I shall begin my list.

Ready?  Here we go:

  • Elgato Game Capture HD, so I can finally start my SMC Awkwardly Plays series.
  • Wired Xbox controller, so I don't have to change batteries so darn often.
  • A whole whack of canvases in different sizes so I can paint stuff for people... and to sell.  Because art!
  • A whole whack of paints (giant jugs of the stuff, please).
  • A publishing contract, please.  You know.  Because that's totally something Santa does.

So there it is, my Christmas wish list.  It is surprisingly short, actually.  I really expected myself to come up with a ridiculously long list of things.  Apparently not.  I'm not as greedy as I thought, I guess.  Go me?

So, I did end up writing Friday.  Those of you who follow me on Facebook or Twitter will know that I didn't quite make the usual 2 000 words, but I did make my minimum of 1 500 words.  I had planned on writing that extra 500 on the weekend, but time ran away with me and I never managed to sit down to write.  That's alright, though, since I'm not technically behind my desired word count, even though I feel like I'm behind my desired word count.

Today, I fully expect to get no writing done whatsoever.  It is the annual office Christmas luncheon, which is mine to organise.  I am certain everything will be fine, but I'm still stressed about it.  Of course, there will be wine, so I may be answering the phone slightly tipsy.  Don't give me that look.  As if I would do that.

Granted, I would do that, just not at work.

In any case, I may be too busy cleaning up after, and the party may go over time and so I can't really comfortably schedule any writing time today.  I will try and squeeze some in.  I've been having those really awesome moments where scenes from the book will play in my head.  It was a rare occurrence with Human and I'm really enjoying it happening again.  This probably won't be the last time you hear how much I'm enjoying whatever 'ism' I happen to be experiencing.

So now I'm off to continue with my Welsh lessons, and then it will be time to party.  Yay!

Have a fantastic Monday everyone.  I shall see you all tomorrow!

Ciao

PS - have some funny that's funny because it's awful:
