End-of-Month Wrap Up: September
But of course it's not all pain-- there's also apples and mist and turning leaves and all in all, fall is my favourite season, which isn't saying much.
On the Blog
- I talked about blogging and doing the same thing over and over.
- I compared characters to fussy kids.
At My Writing Desk
- I struggled some more with editing.
- Only to realize that my plot was majorly screwed up and needed a thorough gutting.
- So I started plotting a new edition of my novel.
- And I participated in the Snazzy Snippets link up and shared some of my writing.
In the Books
To be honest, I completely lost track of how many books I read this month. There were at least five, but there may have been more. Most of them were okay, but nothing special.
And I totally fell behind on Goodreads and even just my personal reviews, so I'm kind of depressed-- I HAVE SO MANY BOOKS TO REVIEW.
On the Web
(Btw, this is seriously my favourite part of my wrap up. Actually, it's one of the only reasons I do a wrap up. What do you think? Should I abandon the whole wrap up thing and simply link to a ton of awesome posts at the end of every month?)
- Captain America@YAvengers discussed rules and when to break them.
- Gabrielle@Write for the King posted a great tip on giving unpredictable characters consistency.
- A.M.@The Authorist explained why your story needs both intelligence and emotion.
- Braden@The Storymonger gave some guidelines for writing great plot twists.
- Aimee@To the Barricade! talked about how awesome sci-fi is (and why everyone should write it).
What are you waiting for? Go read these fabulous posts!
With Me and My Life
- I went on vacation! My entire family made a trip to the beach for a week and it was glorious.
- I turned 16. (I'm not sure that being 16 is a good thing, but birthdays are, so it counts.)
- Apple season started at the orchard where I work!! Which means apples and talking to lots of people and the best cheeseburgers in the world, so it's pretty amazing.
And when it comes to bad things, I'm just feeling pessimistic right now because I have a cold.
Coming Soon to the Blog
I will be honest for once and admit I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. I've been having a hard time blogging lately (as if you couldn't tell), and I have very few ideas for posts currently. So we'll just see what happens.
So, how was your September? Is it cold where you live, yet? What are you looking forward to in October?

I adore comments! Just keep it clean and respectful...please no profanity and while I respect people's opinions and love a good argument, simply bashing my post is obviously not appreciated. :)
