Only 3 Shopping Days Left

I think this will be my last writing challenge. From now on I'll just do them for myself. And that's fine.

Why? Because I get tired of hearing myself talk about them, because it's a tough time of year, because participation is low. I know from modding and being responsible for places where things get posted that sometimes, we just cut our losses and move along, because forcing people to do things is no fun.

In other news, I still don't have a Halloween costume ready. I'm not motivated this year and it will be too cold to go as Mugen, even though I could probably make my hair do what his is doing in this icon. Plus, I'm not crazy enough and I don't want to walk on block sandals for trick-or-treat. Plus (again), that kind of language would be inappropriate around kids.

And... that's all I want to say for a Friday.

*adds hugs* I hope you can share your answers to your own writing challenges in your LJ so that we can read them and maybe also do one on the same theme.

Well, I almost always share my writing here, but I'm not going to be doing any more "here are the rules, you guys have this much time" writing challenges. I mean, look. I thought monthly was too frequent, but people on my friends list opted for monthly. I thought burying it in my own LJ was silly, but people on my friends list said please keep it here. So... since I am really tired of prodding people and begging them and suggesting that they write, I'll just let it go. People can write on their own terms and at their own pace. I might change my mind at some other point, but... meh, who cares? It's apathy at its finest when there are 91 people allegedly reading my journal and only 2 people add a piece of writing and only 2 people even bother to comment on what's there. Says to me that no one cares, and it's more work for me to do it and manage it. I think I know when to let it go.
