Oh, friends, what a month. We are all doing such a good job; kudos to us. Consider collecting a beverage of your choice while I do not try to tell a tale.

Instead:
♥ November noveling month is coming; it's year 3 of 50k in Chinese!
♥ Daphne and I got to see the weir being taken down this fall. Neat.
♥ And the wind and waves of an early nor'easter blowing in on the beach.
♥ Marci and I enjoyed an autumn craft fair with lots of crochet and cider donuts!
♥ Next is a Halloween race by the bay; matching sweatshirts may be involved.

The world is a lovely and terrible place.

Quarterly update to check in on my year goals while there's still time to achieve them:
1) inkingitout morning pages goal going well
2) inkingitout story goal intermittent but reachable*
3) reading goal faltered a bit over the summer
4) gave up on chinesestudy early I see
5) restarted and re-stopped fandom50challenge
6) finished black dragon diamond painting & started seasonal fox
7) gardens went significantly better than expected

*my plan for the rest of the year is 5% Tron: Ares fic and 95% seasonal Mo Dao Zu Shi fluff

I got a lego tree for the dollhouse; I should build that. Loved doing the poster art for battleshipex. Very happy to have recorded more speaking during communal_creators.

Got a shirt that says "love everyone" and every time I wear it I am reminded to act more the way I want to be.

(Thus I went with "fake it til you make it" as the subject, but "just because you can't do everything doesn't mean you can't do anything" was a close second.)
