Can I just tell you that the song that came up in my car this morning when I asked Alexa to shuffle my Drive playlist for my commute was... Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. And when I tell you that there has been no getting ahead today, I mean it.

2. Last week’s challenges:

Big Buddy is at 23%, how is that going?  I’m exactly 43 words over where I need to be for the month. Hahaha… I’ll take it.  There’s always time to sign up, you can find the link here.

The Daily Count Challenge is in full swing as well.  You can check your place in line here if you need to.    

Lastly, October’s challenge is BINGO!  You can find the post with the rules, rewards, and cards here.

Hopefully, I haven’t forgotten anything.  It’s still early here on the West Coast and I’m not quite with it.  Let us know how you’re doing so far this month.  If you need help or encouragement, let us know that, too.

Let’s go forth and make this an awesome week!  Just remember, it’s not that deep, boo.  You’ve got this.

Holy moly how is it nearly October?   I will never understand how things move so fast while often seeming so slow.
September had its moments, but for the most part, it was a good month for me.  Hopefully it was a good one for you, too.  If not, here comes October.  My second favorite month of the year, containing my absolute favorite holiday – Halloween.  So, there are good things on the horizon.

Reminders:

1. Flash Challenge!  Your flash challenge prompt is: flashback.  Give me 100 words or a graphic and I’ll reward you with my undying love and admiration. 

2. Last week’s challenges:

4. The Daily Count challenge reminder is here.  Might be some time to sign up still, but don’t quote me on that.    

5. October’s challenge is BINGO!  I’m sure the posts will be going up soon, but for now, keep your eyes peeled, the should be popping up soon.  Halloween and bingo in one month, how did I get so lucky?

Let’s hear it for another awesome week to come!  We’ve got this and, if we don’t, know that there is always someone around to act as cheerleader!     

Monday?

This is going to be a quick post because I'm up to my eyeballs in work-like things, but also wanted to say HELLO and HAPPY MONDAY!

How did you do last week?  Are you on track to make your goal for the month?  If not, don't sweat it.  October will be better to us all, hopefully.  Don't forget that this month's challenge is comment fic, always a great way to add a couple hundred words to your total.  There are also the words of the day, Say What Friday, and the weekend challenge if you need something to motivate you! 

Chime in below and let us know what you've got on your plate this week and how you plan to make it awesome.

Happy Monday everyone!  How’s September been treating you so far?  Same ol’ same ol’ here but that’s okay, too.  Better the devil you know, right?

Not sure if there are any tennis fans in our midst but the upset in the Women’s final on Saturday was something to see.  Well, if you could see anything around my kitten who thinks she’s helping the players.  *sigh*  Canada, you have yourselves a winner, with or without Violet’s aid.
