Timed: 7 minutes Here I am writing. I guess I’ll be writing for 7 minutes. Not really sure what I want to write about but I’m sure something will come to mind. I don’t remember what my dreams were last night. Usually they’re pretty vivid. Like the night before last night I remember having very vivid dreams but I can’t remember the ones from last night. But that’s okay. I’m sure I’ll have more vivid ones tonight. It’s kind of cold. I’m wearing socks around my apartment for the first time in what feels like a year. It’s finally going to get a little colder...I want rain! I want to feel cozy inside, with my fall candles lit and reading a book or watching a movie under a blanket! I want that so badly. It gets cold at night at least, but the day time is still a crap shoot. It might seem cold, but then you walk outside and you’re like, “Why did i wear a sweater?” and then you faint because it’s so hot and you’re wearing a sweater. Oh dear. It’s November tomorrow. That’s crazy. On to the next holiday! I love fall. It’s my favorite season. There’s electricity in the air. There’s this sense of newness, especially when a cold breeze is in the air. I love cold windy fall days. I don’t think everyone would agree with me, but there’s excitement that comes along with that. Put away your summer clothes, it says, and get out your boots (yay boots!) and start drinking pumpkin drinks and other warm things. Mmm. I need that. It’s been up and down with the weather, which unfortunately seems to be linked to my mood right now. If it’s hot, I’m in a bad mood. If it’s cold, I’m productive and excited. If it’s hot and cold, I’m down and up. Just sick of the all around, unpredictability. It’s November tomorrow! Let’s make it rain....maybe? Please? That’d be nice, is all I’m saying. Although I shouldn’t say that, because I look at the east coast, and they’re probably dying for our weather right now. But it’ll work out. It has to. It’s supposed to be colder soon and at least I can sleep at night because it’s cold, and I can still light my fall candles and be cozy. Plus it’s getting darker earlier and earlier, which is good and bad, because sometimes it makes me think I have less time to get things done. And if you go out at night, it seems so much busier and more trafficky for whatever reason. People trying to get things done before it gets too late, even though it’s only 4:30 pm...oh well, ‘tis the season! And then of course people are already putting up their Christmas lights.

I like this idea about fall being related to “newness” and “excitement.” I think it can start a story.
