This autumn (HAPPY AUTUMN, by the way!!!), I’m pretty sure my “plate” has become a Thanksgiving platter. Here’s an update on what I’ve been doing. This past month, I…

Edited:
Blog posts 😀
Part of a younger sibling’s story.
As you can see, I’ve already nibbled into this month with an interview and a couple other blog posts. (And I finally finished The Book Thief!!! <3) I’m looking forward to more beta-reading (one a fantasy adventure and the other a really sweet looking contemporary novel); finishing up more library hopefuls (Hello, Dickens); and editing the last few parts of “The Twin Arrows” so the world can finally see them. 😛
I also need to brainstorm another short story (if I have any creative juices left) and decide whether or not to do NaNoWriMo. 😉 And who knows what else I’ll find heaped onto my plate (or platter, rather)!
How was your September? Are you doing NaNoWriMo? 😉
Once Upon An Ordinary 
Wow! I thought my month was busy! 😉 I love Ella Enchanted! If you liked that, you should check out the Piano Girl series. It is very similar in my mind. I loved the first two books. ❤

You might think that if our “plates” got too overloaded, things would fall off, but alas, I fear that will not be the case, for the plates turn into larger plates or platters. *sigh* So much for making our “to-do” list smaller. 😉 But perhaps a sibling or friend might be inclined to have less on their plate and you can share. 🙂
Seriously though, you’ve done a lot this past month.
My month? Writing as much as possible, editing, planning blog posts for a certain blog party, hosting the fore mentioned party, answering emails by the dozen. No, I’m not going to count them! I’ve gotten a little reading in here and there. Celebrated my niece’s 10th birthday! Worked on projects, babysat, and worked on memorizing 2 Tim. 2. Yep, I’ve been busy. 😉

😉 Yes, the plate is ever growing, isn’t it? I do love it when someone volunteers to help out with dessert. 😉 You did a ton for the blog party!
Wow, you have been busy! Sounds delightfully so, though. 😉 I got to celebrate two birthdays last month as well, and our church had its annual family camp which was awesome. 😉
