I keep feeling like I'm not doing enough stuff in my life and then realizing that I'm doing actually way more than most humans think is reasonable, so, uh

NaNoWriMo: completed for the first time in three years! I cranked out about a 2k average, almost hit 60k, and managed to squeeze in at least some time to write every day while still fitting in a lot of social engagements. The story needs a lot of revisions, but I have a lot of ideas about those and have started re-writing the outline based on some stuff that became clearer in the process of writing it. More below!

Professional: sent in 3 conference talk proposals, fingers crossed; have apparently been cool and leaderly enough at work to get commendations from my misc. superiors, got invited to show my portfolio at a design/UX/frontend event about building portfolios for digital work. also signed on for a freelance writing project and a freelance web dev project that'll net me a little extra cash in December.

Wedding: bought a wedding dress????

Language Learning: slacked off a little on the chinese practice this month due to NaNo, but filled out a few sheets of writing practice at least

There's a lot of hobby stuff I want to do more of (go back to choir, do more ukulele, knit/crochet/etc.), but, hey! that's not a short list up there.
