Socks!

Today is another writing prompt day!

Today’s Prompt: What would you do if your new shoes felt fine in the store but now they are hurting?

I’ve lost track of how many times that has happened to me!  It’s pretty much been when I’ve tried to break in new flats at work.  Usually it takes a couple days to break them in because I’d stand and walk around a lot, but then I was fine.  Band-aids helped, as did those liner sock things.  The ones that go over your feet and are no-show?  Those were definitely a lifesaver, and saved me a lot of band-aids and time trying to find new pairs of shoes.  Not that having a lot of shoes is a problem, but it frustrating breaking in new shoes at work. 

And speaking of socks, I’ve taken to wearing patterned socks lately.  And mismatching them!  Not that I wear socks often, since I pretty much wear flip-flops all the time, but if I’m going to wear socks at home, why not mismatch?  It’s not like anyone is going to see.  And I like to think that I’m honoring Dobby’s memory by doing so. 

In other news, I’ve expanded my top ten book list to 24, which I’ll post at some point.  I was aiming for 25 books, but I failed to come up with a 25th book, so I’ll leave it at 24 for now. 

I’ve settled on a schedule for all my novels and projects, but I have yet to stick to it.  I have been writing in my journal, and I’ve been updating my blog (obviously, right?), so I have been writing, it just hasn’t been anything super creative.  The main problem I have is actually sitting down and doing it- I have no problem during November, so it shouldn’t be a problem the rest of the year.  I think it’s a mental thing. 

I also haven’t read any of November’s novels, which is weird because usually I’ve read them by now.  They should be pretty entertaining once I get around to it- anytime I need a good laugh, I try to re-read my NaNo novels because the stuff that I end up writing is always a surprise.
