Without question, fall is my favorite time of year. The colors of the leaves, especially the fire engine red, are just jaw-dropping beautiful. I love seeing the huge hay rolls alongside the roads and hearing the geese above head. It's so surreal sometimes that I have to remind myself that I'm awake. The only thing missing from the fantasy is football. We watch it on TV as much as possible but the Raiders aren't on TV much here. And, honestly, there's nothing that can replace the experience of being in the black hole itself.
But fall also means my schedule gets full fast. From August until February, it's crazy holiday chaos at Avon and since I work part-part-time for the company as well as sell, it's doubly crazy for me. And MOPS started in September, so that keeps me busy on Thursdays. I've also joined a book club and I'm thinking of starting a writers' group. But maybe not until January. To answer your question, yes I'm writing. I haven't sold any other pieces yet, but I'm working on it. A few weeks ago, I felt a friendly pressure from my Maker to get back to work and start writing again. I know without question He has something He wants me to write, I just need to do it.
The election consumes most of my brain-space these days. I'm so excited to have Palin on the ticket and am planning a "Palin Power/Moms for McCain" event for October.
