The missing of the puppies is affecting me a bit. I think that's because whenever I get stressed about writing I usually curl up with them and sleep. I was reading something by a screenwriter today who was saying his 'thing' is hot baths... that's where he goes during those moments you need as writer to let your mind drift into the next phase...

Recently there was a fatal accident in my family that involved the abrupt loss of a brilliant life, my Uncle Mark. The day after Thanksgiving he was hit by a car only moments from home. All of my love goes to everyone left behind during this tragic time. I think everyone knows, you can't prepare yourself for things like this. You also can't prepare for the way your soul reacts.

The whole Friday night to Saturday night thing (30-31st) AND the fact that daylight savings got set back adding an EXTRA HOUR onto Halloween... who could ask for more? Seriously.
