Happy December, Cyberspace!
Well, folks, I’m just going to cut right to the chase this morning: I’m going on a hiatus. I should probably have mentioned this last month, but writing 50,000 words for NaNo and blogging throughout the month of November (if you can even call that blogging?) has left me creatively drained. And, as every elf knows, a month filled with merry-making and Christmas-cookie-eating is the absolute best way to fill myself back up again!
So December is going to be my hiatus month, my friends. I’m still going to try and write every single day throughout the month (otherwise this draft I started in November won’t get done until next NaNoWriMo), but for right now, blogging is going to be taking a bit of a backseat.
Sort of. I’ve actually already started drafting out some posts to schedule for January, but shhhhhh. I don’t want to jinx anything by telling you guys that. . .
However, even though I won’t be blogging through December, I am quite aware that I have promised you all a video of some sort in order to get everyone’s dares sorted out. And while I’m still trying to figure out if that video is going to be live (*intense screaming*) or pre-filmed (*intense screaming intensifies*), I am still planning on plowing ahead with that. So for all you Dare Squad losers like me, you have absolutely nothing to fear. You shall have your dare assigned to you shortly. just as soon as I can get over this blasted cold, of course *hacks profusely*
Buuuuut, since I do nothing if not make everything extremely complicated, I figured the post that I make won’t just include me rambling to a screen and playing with number generators. Oh no. I thought I could do a live Q&A, as well.
Because #fun. Obviously.
So! If you guys have ever had any questions you’ve just been dying to ask me — whether that’s about any of my current WIP’s, what my 2019 goals are (though I have a post on that coming out in January), which character is my absolute favorite, whether Nathan is still alive or not, where I live, my social security number — go ahead and shout ’em at me down in the comments below! I’ll answer as many (or as few) as I get in the video, which will hopefully make an otherwise really awkward five minutes of me messing around with numbers a lot more interesting to watch. Aha.
And that’s pretty much all I’ve got to say for today. I’m going on Hiatus, I’m hopefully going to be doing a Q&A in my NaNoWriMo Dare Squad Death Reveal video coming out here in a couple weeks, and I shall see all of you lovely folks in the New Year!
Have a fantastic December everybody!!
TALK TO ME, PEASANTS!
What are your currently blogging/writing plans for December? Are you going to be working on your WIP from NaNoWriMo, or are you one of those super cool writer beans who can actually finish a draft in a month? What sorts of non-writing related things are you looking forward to in December? and most importantly. . .
ARE YOU GONNA MISS ME?? because you better miss me, peasants, or I shall be forced to come to your doorstep wielding my pitchfork. . . (don’t think I won’t do it.)
Let us talk about ALL OF THE WINTRY THINGS! down in the comments below! And as always, until next time. . .
*flings cookies in the air and disappears*
Ahhhh, we’ll miss you, Kenzie! Ooh, questions?!
Reading or writing?
Three things you’re completely passionate about?
How would you change the world?
Craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Three wishes?
Hope those are okay!

Ah, a Christmas blogging break sounds lovely, enjoy it! ^.^
*Looks forward to the video*
I will be blogging in December even if I don’t have a careful plan in place for how I’ll do it. I’ll probably work a bit more on my WIP, and watch some Marvel movies.
Hmmm…Questions…I know, what’s your favorite Marvel movie? What’s your favorite Christmas movie? (Or top three, singular favorites are too hard. xD ) And, what are your top three favorite Christmas songs?

I watched the second Thor movie, and I’ll watch the Avengers and Winter Soldier once I get them from the library.

YAY!
It’s funny, I really liked the first half of Captain America, but once it got to defeating the actual badguy, it just reminded me that it was set in a very significant historical time period and it didn’t match at all. xD

Okay, I have clearly not seen Captain America for a very long time, because I know virtually nothing about this movie… I’d say I’d re-watch it, but I really don’t like Captain America very much… (which is sad, but like…Iron Man is significantly better in my humble opinion…)

I certainly related to Captain America more than Iron Man, but Iron Man is funny.

ACK, I’M SORRY. Filming videos is a lot harder/weirder than I thought. I ended up filming on the 19th, failed to edit it before Christmas, and then promptly scrapped what I’d already filmed and refilled the entire thing on the 29th. I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore, and I am so sorry I didn’t get questions from you… :((
UGH. it’s a habit I’m hoping to break in 2019. 😂 #newyearWOOTWOOT
