I barely got any writing in, despite attempting a writing challenge. I realized the WIP I was working on just wasn't going well for me. It was something I loved and still do. And it will be worked on when the time is right. So I started a new idea. But it's kind of... it's been hard to write honestly. 

So if this is you, don't feel bad. November is hard sometimes, with all the pressure to BE a writer and WRITE so many words. It can be encouraging to know so many other writers are with you, but it can be exhausting to feel the weight of the pressure of it all. 

As for my November, not much happened.

Thanksgiving came. 

Thanksgiving went. 

I work retail, so Black Friday was a thing. 

I put up my Christmas tree. 

I'm still burning pumpkin-scented candles and holding on to the last few moments of autumn. It flew by too quickly. It's been colder this year compared to most. 

I'm in a massive reading slump, so I haven't really touched any books lately. Any recs, send them my way please and thanks. 

I think that's about it. How was your November? Did you have a good month? Here's to December being bright and merry!
