\"\"On his blog this morning, Paul Lamb mentioned that it’s October<\/a>.<\/p>\n

October is my favorite month. (Well, when I lived in the Chicago area it was; in Texas, November is the closest we get to October up north.) It’s a great month to be outside. It’s a great month to throw open the windows and listen to leaves. And…it’s a great month to write!<\/p>\n

Since September, I’ve been back to focusing on a novel. I’ve spent so much time this past year editing and formatting things for e-books that this novel ended up sitting a bit. I even wrote a novella before getting back to this novel.<\/p>\n

Now, though, momentum is there; even working 7 days a week at the day job can’t stop at least some <\/em>progress more days than not on this book.<\/p>\n

And now that it’s October, I know that progress will only increase.<\/p>\n

Even though it won’t be chilly until November down here in Texas, just looking at October 1 on the calendar is like a starting gun going off.<\/p>\n

I hope everybody has a great month!<\/p>\n
