But unlike previous years where I've lost the motivation or interest, this year it was all about lack of time. I have too much homework and other stuff going on this year to focus on writing a novel, no matter how much I love the idea and want to see it prosper. But don't let that fool you into thinking I don't want to finish the novel. NaNoWriMo may end with me not having a 50000 word novel by the end of it, but I will keep writing whenever I get the time to, I assure you.
Another big thing that happened recently is the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1! I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter. Have been since 1st or second grade, though I didn't start reading the books until later. Anyways, the movie was quite well-adapted, although as usual there were some things that I disliked and some things I wished they'd included. But like I said, overall, it was fantastic. Emma Watson's acting particularly caught my attention. She was absolutely amazing in every scene. Let me know what you thought of it!
And now for a small feature. I haven't had much time to look at peoples' works, so that's why it's so short. I apologize. I have a few days off for Turkey Day, so maybe I'll get some time if I'm not too busy reading 1984 for English class to look through all my deviantWATCH messages.

The Nereid, ThetisShe rose from the water to taunt me, to haunt me.
More beautiful than I had remembered.
The prickly, sickly smell of the low tide
pricked my pride and I was castaway
and back
to stack all my memories like coins
wagered in a strange game of time lost.
The cost incalculable.
So here I am, again, the green felt sand
like a belt around the girth of waters
where play the daughters of man
brushing the crushing waves
that echo into themselves
words whispered in times forgotten.
But I hear when I draw near as I dare.
I am home. I am home.
The bright horizon draws down the curtain
to invite the stars to dance
and stare at me, my hair

How to Make a MonsterHow to make a monster, you ask?
Well, it's really quite simple.
To start with you need a typical embryo,
Preserved in a jar of mushroom fluids.
In this order, add five drops of lemon juice,
Half a cup of spite,
A tablespoon of jealousy,
Three quarters of dark night.
Remove half the reason,
Siphon all that's light,
Take away the easy road,
And the sense of what is right.
Pour fire down his throat,
To give him extra fight,
And add a nasty aftertaste,
To keep him from clear sight.
Starve him of affection,
Add a thirst for power,
A good helping of bad temper,
So his enemies will cower,
A dollop of mean spirits,
A sprinkl

Remember: if you like what you see, don't tell me, tell the artist or author. Have a happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it!
