Long time, no see! I haven't done one of these since July. JULY! Can we say burn out? That pretty much sums up the past two months for me. I had taken on way too much and now I'm paying for it. Some good has come of it, however. I've been able to spend more time with my family, decorate my home for the fall season, attend the SCBWI Midsouth conference, make a fresh start on my book, and realize that I needed a co-blogger. Now Nikki from Books Most Wanted is here to help and I'm starting to feel up to reading and reviewing again. There just may be hope for me yet. ;-)
Previously, Owl Tell You All About It was a weekly feature. From this month forward, it will be a monthly feature and will serve as a recap of everything that goes on at StNC during any given month. You can look for these posts on the last Sunday of each month to catch up on anything you may have missed. For now, however, it's time to move on the the business of summarizing the month of September. It won't be very detailed since it's been slow around here, but there were some fun things, nonetheless.
