My goals for November are pretty simple, but how did I do in October?
Finish the rough draft of the next Penelope Standing cozy mystery.DONEOutline the next book of The Portal Storms. (I’ll be writing this book during NaNoWriMo and I’d like to continue my journey from pantser to planner.)DONE-ishAdd weekly episodes on the space opera serial, and have a few in reserve so I don’t have to write any during November.Mostly done. I’m still short one episode.Go through the published Penelope Standing books and create a series bible.Started it, and went through book one.Stretch goals: new short stories for Penelope Standing and The Portal Storms to eventually give to my newsletter subscribers.I wrote a short story from The Portal Storms universe that went out to my Patreon subscribers. That will eventually go out to the newsletter subscribers as well.
I’m giving myself an A+ for October.

Obligatory Pet Gate Photo
(Sorry, the foster kittens have ringworm, so I don’t usually take my phone with me when I’m handling them, and the other pets are asleep at the moment. But have this picture of a gate I found when I was wandering the alleys of Woodland. Gates always inspire a sense of curiosity and wonder — there could be anything beyond that point.)
