October in Review

October has been a long month with some ups and downs. The temperature dipped, classwork and homework picked up, one of our roommates moved out, and the house is still not even put back together. But it wasn't a bad month by any means. Any month when the leaves change colours and pumpkins and pumpkin flavoured things can be found is a good month to me.

So let's see which if my October Goals I actually managed to accomplish.


Actually finish Chapter 8 of my book (and then some!)
Continue to find balance between all the responsibilities in my life.
Make fresh baked pumpkin seeds at least once.
Go hooping in the leaves.
Look for an online writing job (link me if you find any!)
Update the shop.
Put together an awesome Halloween costume.

Four out of seven.... I could have done better, haha. Writing in my novel is proving difficult. Motivation is half the problem and the other half is that I'm writing a really tricky scene that I don't want to butcher too badly on myself. I didn't make pumpkin seeds yet either but it's on my to-do list for tonight! And I also didn't go hooping -I've either been busy or the weather has not been conducive. Hopefully I can do that before it snows, but right now I want to wait until everything dries as the ground is still soaked from Sandy's visit a few days ago.

But I did (mostly) find a good balance between work, school, relationships, and personal time. And I looked for online writing jobs. I haven't been hired for one yet, but I've looked! The shop did indeed get updated and I did put together a cool costume. Which I haven't shared yet I know, sorry! My Halloween/Day of the Dead party is tomorrow though so I will try to get some good pictures.

Happy November everyone!
