    On the first three days this month I wrote 469, 501 and 302 words respectively. Not bad, but I may have to take a break from writing for a while. I can manage the word counts but it is cutting too deeply into study time
    So. Until I have that under control, I should cut back on writing unless suffering a bout of inspiration. This probably means no more story postings for a while too. It is a shame. Just as I was building up a sort of momentum, reaching the climactic scenes and writing some I have been waiting for for years. Part two is just a few thousand words from being a first draft.
    Of course then I would have to pretend to know what I was doing with part three, which is even sketchier. I am looking forward to the day this story is complete and I can feel not guilty for working on others.
    Since I have already thrown a few numbers in here, last month saw 4893 words written, a fair way short of my target (1307 short to be precise). Unlikely I can make 9000 this month.

    Most of the personal stuff lately is being strongly filtered but the results of the great beard experiment are in: everyone loves it, in stark contrast to my long hair. Now, anyone have any tips for getting rid of it (face hair, not head hair)? It comes off tomorrow.

That's right, today I went and got myself a haircut. I asked for them to give me this [Third down on the right , right-clicking not working right now for some reason. :-\ http://www.hairstyle.com/womens-hair-styles/medium-hair-gallery.htm]. So now just imagine that I look almost, but not quite, completely unlike her. Not sure how I feel about it yet. In the right light (when you can barely see my face P:) I look boyish. Other times it can maybe be horrid. I do miss having my hair so long though - hadn't realised it was this much shorter. Oh well, it is still better than any cut I ever had before.

I also went and bought two new outfits with the money I had been saving up for when I passed my driving test (these things take time!). Thorny pink vines seem to be the theme this time. One pair black pants with curls and a butterfly on the hip pocket, greyish top with stylised flowers growing over the right breast + black and pink jumper. The other is 3/4 length pants with flowers down the left leg and matching hooded top (the flowers on that one are over the left breast) and a pink top for underneath (with more flowers!). Normally I'm not much for pink but it goes so well (I hope - maybe I don't have any taste?) with the other colours. Now I'm going to have to get a camera to show everyone how awful I look.

More shopping next week! I'm trying to build up a wardrobe of casual clothes for every day wear, especially warm ones. After all... winter is coming. :-P

Love and general well-wishes,
Trish

Edit: My sister (who just got back from band practice) Says the first outfit makes me look like I have child-bearing hips. The second one looks like an old woman's blouse despite the SUPER-cool hood. I put the former together myself, the latter was a display outfit *feels proud*
