I got a few things done! Very few. But I did help with a number of gardens, and start some Christmas presents, and clean my kitchen, and make a lot of plans for a lot of sewing.

I totally fell off the Inktober wagon, but I'd like to keep working through the prompts, and maybe finish by the end of the year.

The main thing I have to start doing is writing out The Riddle-Master. I've been semi-avoiding it, because it's been a while since I last tried something completely new and the materials are kind of expensive, but it's time to stop trying for perfection through avoidance.

I'm also doing my own version of Nanowrimo. I have much lower word count goals than the official game, but I've discovered over the past few years that I'm just not interested in devoting myself utterly to cranking out a novel in a month, and 2200 words a day turns into more stress than joy.
