Howdy friends! This month has been so busy. Work-related responsibilities are ramping up with the start of the new academic year, I just went on a quick vacation to the other side of the state, I just accepted a new position at work, a friend of mine is getting married and I’m the maid of honor so I need to get a few ducks in a row on my end, AND I just completed my second attempt at the 3-Day Novel Contest hosted by volunteers affiliated with Geist magazine every Labor Day weekend.
