Lots of Christmas shopping to be done (I'm almost done mine), not to mention the parties and family visits. On top of all that, I've been pretty busy at work, so it hasn't been easy to find time to write (read: a giant excuse as to why I haven't written a single word since starting this blog). I wonder sometimes how people get into the proper headspace to write. For some people, that's not a problem -- they're always in the writing headspace. Some people keep to a schedule, which has never worked for me. Some people use prompts or write stream-of-consciousness stuff to get into the swing of things. I guess I'm still trying to figure out what works for me. What's worked for people out there? And on a completely random tangent, my Dad sent me a site that classifies all Canadians into one of 66 lifestyle types. I think you can probably still find yourself in here if you're not Canadian, though. I fall into category #32 - Grads & Pads. We're those who've just graduated, have mid-level jobs, small apartments and tend to be interested in politics and drinking. Sounds about right. See if you can find yourself here.
