I was putting together my monthly journal spread for October and realize it had been a while since I blogged! So, here’s just an update about some things I’ve been up to while the blog has been quiet since Middle Ground is out.
I’ve been trying to stay careful with the delta variant of the COVID-19 having an impact in my part of the world( I am fully vaccinated) while balancing going out and doing things. Managed to do a vacation to Austin, TX, which was a lot of fun. We also did a day trip out to Waco, TX. It was great to get to camp, jump off rocks, eat some great food, and explore a new place to me. I may end up doing a longer post about it for those looking for recommendations or ideas.
 | Looking to do something creative, I started doing calligraphy online through this website: https://thepostmansknock.com/. I’m only a couple of lessons in and am still battling my fear of using the dip pen. I’m convinced I’m going to spill that beautiful black ink everywhere. |
Aside from that, I’ve been doing some research and some planning for my next novel. For example, I now know more about Aztec Farming—which was a rabbit hole I enjoyed going down. How that will come back to the book is still in the works! With that and at that stage of planning I’m in, I’m tentatively considering doing NaNoWriMo. It’s all virtual again this year. Nanowrimo is where a group of like-minded individuals get together to crank out their first draft of a novel in just a month. The goal is to hit 50,000 words in thirty days.
Hope everyone is doing well!
