Also I've fallen so damn behind on my Not #NaNoWrimo this year, I may not actually finish. I'm frustrated, but also trying to remember the whole give yourself grace thing. 😩 November's usually my crank out all the words like a crazed demon because it's fun month and I love doing it. But grace. 4/4

She was very bummed at first as all of the other girls in her group bounded away, but eventually as she saw other girls and their grown-ups walking some of that faded and she had fun. And dammit she was proud of herself as she crossed that finishline.

But universe why so much at once? 3/4

20 minutes into the kids' time there she fell in the "Ninja Warrior" esque area and fractured her ulna and radius. We spent the evening in urgent care. She had the Girls on the Run 5k celebration the next day which she was very excited to run. My hubs and I convinced her to walk it still. 2/4

I was also impressed by all of the long takes! Tell your wife October just ended so it's *basically* still October 😂!

It's definitely worth a rewatch!

It also sparked some of my creativity to return to a shelved story, so thanks for that as well and is what's fueling my Not #NaNoWriMo chaos. Happy November 1st writer friends. 2/2

Why would anyone do this 🤦 this makes my cringe on so many levels. Just follow the damn submission guidelines people. And that's all. Nothing more.
