OCTOBER 2019

Well, October's over. A sad time for us fall-lovers, because it means that all the autumn goodness is fast drawing to an end.

BUT DESPAIR NOT! Because after fall comes something even more exciting: CHRISTMAS!

Basically my life is a constant cycle of alltheothermonthsoftheyear-fall-Christmas. But anyway. Have a summary of my October.

I read The Evaporation of Sofi Snow and Reclaiming Shilo Snow by Mary Weber. And honestly... I didn't really click with these books? Which I hated and felt really bad about (even though I know I shouldn't) because I know so many other bloggers and readers love them so much. But I don't know. I'm just not a hardcore sci-fi fan at heart, I guess.

I DID enjoy them, though! Don't think I didn't like them. The whole FanFight thing was really interesting, and it's always fun to see different authors' takes on futuristic worlds. I got a bit of a Star Wars vibe from these, what with all the crazy hair and such (lol), the Delonese, and the ice planet.
I also started Romanov. But we're not going to talk about that yet.

There's also this:

Well... You all know my goal was to finish the first draft of Fall Into Time this month. Yeah... that didn't happen. And to be honest I didn't really expect it to. I got wrapped up in NaNo planning (or, rather, not planning for NaNo) that I just couldn't devote much time to it. I did get a bit more work done on it, though, and realized I'm actually a lot closer to the climax than I realized and #Stuff really needs to start happening. xD And I AM hoping to finish the first draft in December. Maybe. I just think it would be really awesome to finish two drafts in one year (the first being Roots to Claim earlier in the year) after not previously having finished ANY.

And, as aforementioned, I did NaNo planning this month. A little. A very, very, little.

I went to an annual fall festival earlier in the month, which I've been going to every year for... gosh, probably ten years now? It's mostly just eating and shopping, but I love it just for the fallness of it. And the coffee. *heart eyes*

My parents and I decorated sugar cookies together. It was quite interesting. xD

I carved a Descendants pumpkin, although it's not that pretty. xD I don't have a picture of it yet (thought I did), but I'll try to add one later.

On Halloween I went to work dressed up as Peggy Carter.

I'm kind of obsessed with this, to be honest, and I wouldn't have taken it off all day if the clothes a) wouldn't have been a bit warm, and b) had belonged to me. xD

 On the blog this month:

 

It's now November 2nd, which means two things:

Thanksgiving is THIS MONTH. WHAT :o

And WE'VE ALL SURVIVED THE FIRST DAY OF NANOWRIMO! Eeeep! I hope day one went fantastic for you, but if you didn't quite get as much written as you'd hoped, keep writing! :D
On the subject of NaNoWriMo, I'm hoping to bring you guys weekly updates for the month of November. We'll see how that goes. I'm also sort of experimenting with whether I want to post on Fridays or Saturdays, so bear with me for some possible erratic posting.

Here's to a great November! :D

How was day one of NaNo?!?! And, oh yeah, how was your October? xD Did you do any fun fall activities? Have you read the Sofi Snow duology?
