House Sitting, Book Fair, and the Arrival of Fall || September Recap
Tomorrow is October. If you freaked out when you realized that, you're not alone.
But whether you're on the "YAY FALL" team or the "COME BACK SUMMER" team, the season is upon us, so we might as well enjoy it. ^-^
|| Life. ||
>> So I got a house-sitting/dog-sitting job. For three weeks, so technically I'm still here until Wednesday. The independence is pretty cool, but I'm getting tired of having to drive 30+ minutes to get ANYWHERE. xD
>> I had a table at a local author book fair on the second Saturday of the month! Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures, but it was a super amazing time! And I sold over a dozen copies of my books. :D
>> I laughed over my family's insanity.
>> My songs on repeat this month were... Fly, After the Storm Blows Through, No Place Like You, and Downside of Growing Up by Maddie & Tae, and Always Sing, Lonely Call, Say, Love Triangle, and For a Boy by RaeLynn, and Leaving New Orleans and Slow Dance in a Parking Lot by Jordan Davis... What can I say? Being alone in a quiet house calls for lots of jam sessions.
>> I guest posted on my friend Ashley's blog! Read the post here, and check out the rest of the Month of Friendship series while you're there.
>> I watched a gazillion movies, y'all. Mostly Hallmarks. A Country Wedding, Soldier Love Story, Chance at Romance, The Wedding March 4, All of My Heart: Inn Love & The Wedding, and Soldier of Destiny. Plus Garage Sale Mysteries, Flower Shop Mysteries, Hailey Dean Mysteries, Morning Show Mysteries, and Aurora Teagarden Mysteries.

|| Writing. ||
So writing was kind of interesting this month... I wrote about 5,000 words, edited most of Behold, and got some inspiration for editing War Tears. But other than that? I feel like I've been in a dry season which I'm slowing pulling out of it. And it was kinda awful, but it's getting better. I hope.
On another note, I found this quote on Pinterest and I LOVE IT. If we're not writing from our hearts, writing what we honestly think and genuinely feel down deep inside... what are we doing? How can we expect to make a difference in the world while hiding our true selves behind a facade? <33

|| Goals. ||
~ September Goals >> Read 8 books. Scored.
>> Send Behold to beta-readers. Unscored? They'll be getting it this week though. xD
>> Edit pt.1 of War Tears. Uh, nope. I haven't even touched that mess. Gotta get things rolling with Behold first.
>> Be a hosted author at a local book fair. Yes, and it was F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S.
>> Host another readathon. Yup! Rebekah, Brooklyne, Katja, Ryana, and I had so much fun that weekend! :D
~ October Goals>> Read 8 books.
>> Start working full-time. *fingers crossed*
>> Send Behold to betas and apply feedback.
>> Edit pt.1 of War Tears.
>> Take part in the Five Fall Favorites party. (Starts tomorrow!)
Welp, this ended up rather lame and to the point, but I suppose that's all right.
How was your month, pals? Buy any books? Have a favorite post? Are you excited for the party next week?

*starts raining*
Dad: *runs out to cover the paint sprayer*
Mom: Quick, sign the birthday card!
Tucker: *innocently* That was so smart of you, Mom, to make it rain so he'd have to leave the house.
