I am sad zombie.
All my plans for this October have gone up in a cloud of bats due to a crazy personal and business schedule this past month.
There are at least 3 posts with a Halloween theme lying three quarters complete in the shallow grave known as 'Drafts'.
I'm torn on whether to complete them and post them now that November is nearly upon us or save them for next year's fright festival so that I don't fall into the same field of folly.
I have a lot of other stuff I want to cover as well. Quite frustrating to have things to share but not the time and energy to share them.
What do you all think I should do?
Regardless of what comes next, I wish you all a Happy Halloween!

Ending this post on a sad note...
Farewell to the one and only Teri Garr, a Comedic Actress who appeared in such classics as Mel Brooks' 'Young Frankenstein' and Steven Spielberg's 'Close Encounters of The Third Kind', as well as 'Mr. Mom' and 'Tootsie'. She got her first major break in show biz as one of two leads for a backdoor pilot called 'Assignment: Earth', a Season 2 episode of the original Star Trek series.
Ms. Garr died from complications related to Multiple Sclerosis, an illness she had been battling for many years. She passed away at the age of 79 in her home city and state of Los Angeles, California.
Without knowing what you've written, I'd say - given the usual avalanche of great ideas you have throughout the year - it would be better to get these "drafts" published ASAP. There's every chance, by next Halloween, they may have been superseded by subsequent great ideas... which would be a bit of a "waste" then ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery sad to hear about Teri Garr. I've been a fan since that episode of Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteAs for your dilemma, I'd suggest posting at least one of the articles and saving the rest for next October.
A belated Happy Halloween, Adam! And...that sounds like the way I operate, only I don't have a reasonable excuse for not completing them like you do! ;)
ReplyDeleteThe folks above me both have strong ideas. I think I would opt for the "post one and save the rest" option if I were in your shoes. I just know that planning to finish them all now is a recipe for me to still have them all sitting unfinished as I ring in the new year.
And dang, next year's spooky season will be here before we know it...
Thank you all for commenting and stopping by. It really is appreciated and makes me feel like I'm not a total loser for getting nothing I wanted to do done. ^ ^;
ReplyDeleteI think Jonathan has the right idea here. While I'd like to thank Tim for the vote of confidence, I'd rather save my Halloween ideas, improve on them, and have them ready for next year in addition to anything new I might come up with.
Thanks again gang. Cheers!
