Some thoughts
- The end of September snuck up on me. Between moving and various family activities, I haven’t had much time to read or post.
- I enjoyed writing about my approach to minimalism.
- I finished a 3,000+ word story for The Write Stuff! It’s the longest thing I’ve written since college.
Looking ahead
- I’ve been doing some soul-searching and trying to answer the “Where do you see yourself in five years” question. It’s frustrating, and I’d love to get some next steps in place for my goals.
- I want to finish out The Write Stuff challenge. I need to knuckle down and focus on brainstorming.
How’s your reading going this year?
