Halloween might just be the start of it all.

Holidays are fun, don’t get me wrong or peg me as a humbugger. I love the festivities. My son takes Halloween to another level. His costume ideas begin Oct 1. By Oct 31, he’s gone through seven costume idea changes, at least four costume changes, each with their own subtle iteration of changes. The enthusiasm is contagious. Don’t get me started on Christmas, not to mention November; we have two birthdays, an anniversary and Thanksgiving in that month. It’s a little busy. I’m also going surfing in Nicaragua next week, so no post. I’m sure you’ll miss me.

To be clear on the work of writing: 1,500 words a day are hitting the page, minimum. Momentum is important.

Turn up the good, keep your holiday cool and don’t eat too much of your kids’ candy.
