Eek, sorry for the absence Rachael, been proper under the weather this week! Quick glance here tells me I need to do some reading this weekend 😂

I hope you’re feeling better, Gary! I almost missed your comment. 😦 For some reason WP is doing that thing again where it marks comments are having already been read when I haven’t seen them yet. Did you get lots of reading in?

Getting there Rachael! Didn’t get much reading done at all sadly. Coughing isn’t conducive to that when it’s annexed to sinus issues sending the mind off into no mans land!
No worries on the comment miss though. I’m good at that too 😱

You are days and days and DAYS from the end of the month! 😀 Now, I need to take a page out of your book and get crackin’!

I think I’ve missed two months and squeaked in at the last minute in September, so writing something barely into the second half of the month is a *big thing*.
Next month might be tricky. I’ve got book formatting to do, which sucks time and brainpower…

oh yes, but I LOVE book formatting! 😀 There’s something about it, like building something with your hands, that is really satisfying when it all comes together. I know that next month a lot of people will be doing NaNoWriMo, and it will be a huge time suck too. Maybe everyone will be able to incorporate the world into part of their NaNo stories? What are you getting ready to format?

Thank you again for hosting this. It’s always a blast! I’m loving the creative juices that flow through me. I like it that it’s a monthly thing so I do not have to worry about meeting a sooner deadline. It gives me plenty of time.
Now, onto other people’s sites to read their entries.

Me and decisions lol…. remember I’m the publishing procrastinator lol. Trouble with this prompt is I’ve actually got several ideas. Each could produce something. This weekend though. I’ll tackle it then…. maybe 😂😂

Just three days??? Last thing I remember was taking down Christmas decorations and here we are with 68 days to go!! I must get this act together next year… or was that a deja vu moment 😳

Our local big box stores are already prepped and selling Christmas stuff! We haven’t even celebrated Halloween or Thanksgiving as a nation. I’m completely disillusioned by the rush to sell-sell-sell! *eyeroll* But seriously, it feels like we just celebrated the new year.

Same here. I say it every year…it seems to start earlier and earlier. Real message lost in profit margins. Was there not something about avarice in ye olde commandments?? Eventually all the “hallmark” days will roll seamlessly together like villages merged into towns. Or a just really cynical 🤔

I think I’m just as cynical if that’s the case!
