Good golly, it’s hot! The promise of fall is in the air already. There is no cool breeze or bite to the morning air (I couldn’t be that lucky), but there is a definite change in the air. The wheel has turned from the growing season to the harvest season. I can very nearly taste it.
August is going to be a long month for me. I start my class on the first, and I still have a few essentials that I need to pick up (like a tripod and a bus pass). This means either no vacation time for me until after my course ends, or I have to somehow wrangle a mid-week mini vacation of some sort.
Perhaps I will put off vacationing until the fall. It is my favorite season, after all, and maybe I can manage a trip somewhere interesting. I feel like visiting somewhere haunted.
I have returned to my quest of collecting all of my favorite scary movies. Though, none of them are really scary. Mostly just thrillers and some Tim Burton – Sleepy Hollow, The Haunting, The Others, The Village, From Hell, The Order, etc.
I am having a heck of a time finding the Haunting. I love that movie. I know it didn’t get the best reviews, but I would prefer to not have to buy it online if I can avoid it. Alas …
I have been having stories ideas and plot bits floating around in my mind lately. I am going to get back to writing pretty soon, I think. I would like to actually finish one novel over the winter. Who knows, maybe by the spring, I will have something to submit to an editor
