Come back and report if you find anything inspiring. I may delete a few, too.

Yesterday I gave up on a writing project because the deadline is looming and I didn't have enough pieces to complete it. I even started another project. Of course, when I woke up this morning I had the whole abandoned story worked out in my head. Those squirrely muses... #writing

Getting ready for #independentbookstoreday with a visit to Wijaya House. Books and flowers, what a fun combination. There are staff recommendations on the shelves, or you can have a blind date with a book wrapped in brown paper. Fun! Well worth it!

December is the month to think about goals for the next year. I've been inspired by fall color lately. Need to work on that STEAM color for kids post!

Friends: I'm participating in #skypitch tomorrow October 23. For the pitches with the hashtag skypitch, the organizers ask that you leave a comment rather than liking the post by clicking the heart. Of course, comments are always greatly appreciated :-)
