Newsletter | October 2019

Hello everyone!

The weather is finally cooling off (a bit), leaves are changing color and carpeting the sidewalks, and Halloween is tomorrow! My favorite season has truly arrived at last!

I couldn’t resist dressing up as Susie from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (a hilarious and smart show that I highly recommend you watch) even though I knew most people would simply mistake me for an angry plumber haha. I love dressing up so Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays no matter how old I get. Are any of you dressing up and participating in any Halloween activities?

NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) begins FRIDAY. *tries not to panic* I’m going to be using this year’s challenge to finish Wings of Ruin and I am so pumped!!! I really can’t wait for this book to be wrapped up and in your hands to read! Are any of you participating in NaNo this year? Let me know so I can cheer you on!
