It keeps being unusually warm for the season; it's almost Autumn Equinox, and today, once the morning rain cleared up, we had about 20°C, which is not normal Finnish weather for this time. But at least more leaves are turning yellow. Also, the weekend's supposed to be cooler. And with partly cloudy and partly clear days, there are some beautiful evening skies. I went for a walk in the evening around sunset time, and there were clouds the colour of bluebells, almost, and the higher clouds behind them streaked with pale orange and rosy glow.

Today's Writing

I finished editing my short ficlet and sent it out to beta.

I'd slept poorly so I didn't really mean to try to write anything else. But I've been listening to various Big Finish Doctor Who audios lately, and today I listened to a Short Trip (a short story narrated by someone, in this case a cast member, but not acted out by a full cast) that strung unexpectedly emotional cords with me. It gave me a story I wanted to write. in the evening, I thought I'd write out the beginning so I would remember to return to it later...

... And then 1-1.5 hours later I look at my 2K word count and think, hmm, I'd like to finish the story now, but I seriously need something to eat and I also probably really really need to sleep.

I guess that story is really wanting to get written!
