Besides being a great action movie from Jackie Chan? Yeah, I thought that first when I put in a title.
I have been introspective a lot lately. Reaching deep within for the person I was and want to be, versus the person I have become, and pretend to be. They are at odds, making day to day a challenge. I look for the things that make me happy, yet struggle with what I perceive is holding me back. For even finding a moment of happiness, I am tormented by what guilt will be placed upon me for doing so. I need to move on in life, yet, find myself, emotionally trapped.
The struggle continues.

Halloween Grows Nearer
So, I have almost completed my Halloween costume.
It's taken a while, and this year I just got going on making it happen. Granted, many of the actual items, such as the shoes, and whip exist, and are manufactured per request, I find them out of my price range at the moment. I have improvised as best I can for now, with the likelihood of my acquiring the missing pieces slowly over the next few years. More so as I become more proficient with a bullwhip. A new 'hobby' I have taken up in the past year.
So, I tease my readers with a photo, also hosted over at Flickr.

Getting ready for Halloween!
Whip, check.
Satchel, shipped, waiting.
Pants, check.
Shirt, check.
Hat, being tweaked, ETA, this weekend.
Shoes, this weekend.
Yep, it's coming together this year! I can hear the theme music in my head every time I put on the jacket!
This will be a great Halloween.
Smile!

The Coming Month
Well, October is here, and I haven't been posting much of substance for several months. Mostly pictures, little blurbs. Must have been a busy summer.
Well, things are cooling off, activities are moving indoors, and in the past there have been goals I have aspired to finish. November will be another goal riddled month, as I am once again going to participate in National Novel Writing Month(NaNoWriMo). It was a lot of fun the last time I got involved, even if I could never attend any of the local gatherings sponsored by the organization due to the hours I work. I might have a couple of friends this year actually partake as well, which could be fun.
To generate a story, I need an idea. This really isn't a problem, I have quite a few. The decision I must make in the next few weeks is to go with the character and environment I created for the last book, so that I can start a series for publication. Or do I experiment with other ideas that are in my head. I want to experiment some more, and have some concepts in my head that are developed enough to start putting to the page as it were. The existing characters and environment are something I would like to do more, but I have yet to come up with an idea I'd like to run with.
Such problems that plague me, if only these were my biggest worries.
So I do hope my mind is quietly making connections to little bits of story that could lead to a fun tale. It's happened before, it will happen again.
So, there are things I am thinking about, and there are THINGS I am THINKING about.
With any luck, I'll post more soon.
Smile!
