Progress Report

So far I'm feeling pretty good about Nano. The writing is absolutely terrible, but that's Ok! That's what it's all about. I am really happy about the little bits and pieces of world building and character quirks that are coming out and that's more than enough to balance out the repetitiveness and wobbly characterization. And I'm even ahead on my word count! This is not something I expect to last, especially the week of the ISO audit, so it's good to get as much cushion as I can.

In other news, fall is definitely here. The trees are gorgeous, the temperature is crisp. And the air in southern ohio is so dry and the water hard, so I am dry and itchy and nosebleedy. I have an impressive array of creams and lotions collected over the winters, industrial ones, fancy aromatherapy ones, shea butter bases....the list goes on. Right now I'm trying Burt's Bee's hand salve with beezwax in it. It's a little greasy, but so far it seems to be doing a good job, and I like the sharp eucalyptus smell. Anyone else with the same problem have anything to suggest?

i'm not a huge fan of lotions in general as I am not a big floral fan and smelling like a perfume counter irritates me. But I found the mango lotion from bath& body worked really well. it only stayed greasy for a few moments until it dried so I could even use it while driving without the fear of sudden death.
