September Wrap-Up

Wow.  September went by sooooooo fast and NaNo approaches and colder weather and sweatshirts and fuzzy socks and the animals are all covered in burrs.

So how did September go?

My family went hiking with Sarah's family on Labor Day.  I love the trail to the waterfall (except the stairs, hate those).

Top of the waterfall...

 

The waterfall itself (so pretty!)

Also sent Words of Gold to my Alpha Reader, and just got her notes back the other day (super helpful and can't wait to make this book even better).

Had Hurricane Florence come through (thankfully, no damage done, at least to my place).

 

Rainbow after the storm

 

Went on a ride with my Dad (who doesn't normally ride bareback, but we were feeling adventurous).

 

Riding in the evening is so relaxing

I typed up the synopsis for Words of Song, and it looks like I'm going to have to completely re-write the enter book (fun).

Also went to the Write2Ignite Conference (first conference ever; left with a bunch of stuff to think about).

 

Literary Treasures book table (featuring Fawkes and The Girl Who Could See!!!!)

My brother got me a notebook for note taking (do I not have a cool brother??)

Book room (yes, I did get books)

Wandering around between sessions

Still wandering around

The road sign where I found the name Julian, so many years ago, when I was a young, aspiring writer in search of a name for a character....then later chose it as a penname.

 

Also finished the Out of Time Trilogy, by Nadine Brandes (pretty good, though not my favorite genre).

Hope y'all had a good month.  Anyone hit by the hurricane?  Should I do a post on what I learned at Write2Ignite?
