October News: Autumn Bliss

Happy Fall, y'all!

I love October. The trees are turning beautiful colors. The air is crisp and cool. Foot ball is in full swing. Even though I’m staying safe at home and not roaming around the pumpkin patch in cute boots and a scarf, I’m still enjoying my favorite season. I’m cooking chili. I’m baking pumpkin treats. I’m drinking lots of tea. It’s pure bliss. This month I’ll not only be celebrating my wedding anniversary, I’m also participating in some fun writing events with my CP Bestie, Natalie Norwood. We’re planning our first ever virtual writing retreat for mid-month! I’m excited – for the writing time, the snacks, and our zoom chats!!

Speaking of zoom…My CP Bestie and I kicked off fall with the first of our monthly writing zoom chats. We talked about our WIPs (work-in-progress) and our goals for 3 hours. It was so much fun! Now I feel more motivated to tackle my Q4 writing goals.

BOOKS TO BINGE
Sadly, I was in a reading slump last month. I blame lockdown fatigue. Up until this month, I had no desire to read any of the books in my TBR pile. Shocking, I know. I couldn’t believe it myself, because I love to read.  But then I picked up Highland Ruse, book two in the Mercenary Maidens series by Madeline Martin, and suddenly I was back in my reading groove. Yay!! I’ve fallen way behind on Madeline’s books, and I’m determined to catch up soon.

SHOWS TO BINGE
My Hero Hubby and I watched Enola Homes on Netflix. What a delightful and entertaining movie! I loved everything about it. We also binged Cobra Kai. It was so much better than I expected. The series definitely does the 80’s nostalgia right!

Until next month...
