Zela’s outfit as of Oct 30, ’09

So, tunic same as last year (I didn’t get a chance to fit it like I was planning), same cloak, same belt… Gauntlets have been shrunk and are now much easier to use. Boots the same, black shirt/leggings the same… I added three things to the belt, though. Two pouches and a waterbottle holder. One of the pouches is my camera pouch, though, so that’s not permanent. : ) Also there’s that sword I made yesterday, and I jury-rigged the sword belt but it will be better next year, I hope. And… contacts! And hair that cooperates, sort of! And pointy ears!

Do I look like Zela yet?

I need to find my needle I was sewing with the day before yesterday. I was so happy to be done the buttonhole I don’t know what I did with it. Pickles.

Flairé: Words of wisdom for today: The world is beautiful both in macro and micro. But while you can’t enjoy every single leaf and blade of grass, you should still get out and enjoy a few dozen every day. Try it! It’s like meditating, but more interesting. And you can’t climb a mountain everyday, but you should look at one and imagine what it would be like at the top.

Flairé: Also, Why Is Music Important? asks a poster in her music building. I say, because music is, among other things, pure condensed joy. (wanders away playing flute and singing)

NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow!??!?! Ohmigosh, I’m joining this year! But I almost missed it! Can I write the first book or two of Zela’s story in time for Nov 30? It will probably come out horribly, but as NNWM says, the point is not to write a masterpiece but to get words on a page. So that is what I will do. And hopefully some stuff I can keep, scenes, dialogue, plot twists, and at least something of the themes will come out. And writing is something that interests me, although I’m still horrible at it and I can tell – though I still don’t know how to fix it. And yes, I will put it up here when I’m done. Meh. But first I will put up the rest of Ceniro’s story. At least the part I have written. I will do Eliwood/Hector’s chapters some other time.

I have a brief outline of the first book of Zela’s story. 14 chapters of ten pages each will do it.

Wish me luck?
