As a stickler for detail, I am going to begin by pointing out the end of summer isn't technically for another month. However, next week is the unofficial end of summer and I am already starting to feel as if it is fall. Monday, my children's extracurricular activities all switch to their fall schedules. We are slowly transitioning back into full-time school (as opposed to the one-hour schooling we do during the summer).

Those fall changes are making their way into my writing life as well. In my last newsletter, I asked generated some possible new story ideas. I was thrilled with the feedback I received and have already started plotting two new books.

However, before I can start drafting them, I need to deal with ...​

This morning, I counted all my websites. Ignoring the blogs I haven't updated in nearly a decade, I currently have four active websites: my author blog, my freelance editing website, my reading blog, and the Hartfield Chronicles website.

I currently deal with three different hosts to run all these websites and I have found each has quirks. For example, I somehow set the comments feature on one of the sites so that readers can leave comments, but they cannot see them, nor am I receiving notifications about new comments.

So, I have decided to dedicate the month of September to working on my websites. I will most likely be moving one of them to a new host and I hope to start two more.
