\"copyright<\/a>One week left before Halloween.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s scary to me this week is how much work I\u2019ve got coming up in November.<\/p>\n

A lot of it has to do with actually finishing things I started at the beginning of the year. With a little over 60 days left, that doesn\u2019t leave much wiggle room.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve decided not to do National Novel Writing Month<\/a> again this year. The very idea of any book 50,000 words long makes me shiver. Trying to write that many words in a holiday month is tatamount to insane. So, no new novel for me.<\/p>\n

However, I have not let myself off scott free for November. There is another challenge called Picture Book Idea Month<\/a>, where participants come up with 30 picture book ideas in the 30 days of November. I\u2019ve done this challenge the last two years and \u201cwon.\u201d In addition to being a participant this year, I will also be a guest blogger. My post will be online on November 14. In it, I will talk about the picture book challenge and give away a finish signed, original painting created just for the event.<\/p>\n

And, as an off shoot to this, several of my writer friends and I are working toward having November designated as a worldwide celebration of picture book and literacy<\/a>. The web site is almost live. I will send out more detailed information as soon as it\u2019s available.<\/p>\n

There are several other personal book related projects in the works, and I opened an Etsy shop<\/a> last month. I sell Hardened Leather Masks<\/a>, Amigurumi Plushies<\/a> and an assortment<\/a> of beaded items. I\u2019ll be adding quilts of my own designs soon.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful week.<\/p>\n
