Another challenging month, with nothing to show on the summary list. At least I finished pass 6, while taking a break from Geren book 3 editing has provided me more time to read. But the story I'm struggling to write is very difficult to get traction with, while loads of time was spent either preparing for, or on, my Oregon trip with my mom.

That, at least, was completely worth every cent and every minute. Getting to see the 2017 total solar eclipse on August 21 is a memory to cherish for a lifetime. It was also a good time enjoying the scenery and scouting out various cities to see where I might like to move, as well as revisiting some fun places. Thanks to the smoke, didn't make it back to Crater Lake, but I really hope I'll be back in Oregon "soon."

As for September...it will be another interesting month. As of today, I am both carless and uninsured, so no driving for me until God gives me direction (and money!). I will certainly appreciate a break after all my driving in Oregon! What I'm not anticipating is being stuck near home during autumn color, unable to visit my favorite parks.

I hope to keep struggling ahead with my current story, and my wonderful editor will start reviewing the third Geren book later in the month. Triune is still in limbo; still waiting on God.

I've very curious to find out what happens next...
