October. OCTOBER! We'll ignore the discussion about how September only lasted about eight days this year and instead focus on the fact that the second month of the first-ever PerBoWriQua begins today. If you're following the traditional pattern (and by "traditional" I mean "the one I just made up at the end of August") then all your outlining, planning, and synopsizing is done and you are ready to begin the first draft of your manuscript today.

If you're like me, you didn't get any of that finished. So today's the day you're going to take your good, yet incomplete, plans, and wing it. That said, I still feel positive, though admittedly a bit nervous. I always get nervous at the beginning of a project. I'm not sure why. I'd love to tell you how I feel at the end of a project because, well . . . my projects never end.

Here's hoping to break tradition.
