Specifically, a colleague and I are editing a book, and the manuscript is due on October 31, which therefore will be the most terrifying Halloween of my life. I&#8217;m at the wake-up-at-4-AM stage of book deadline panic, so this post will be short. I do have some news to share, though, besides the aforementioned book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I get to that: Welcome to the <a href=\"https:\/\/fresh.inlinkz.com\/party\/e7fa013403c441ed8d9c51a7a8b78f2c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Weekend Coffee Share<\/a>, hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/natalietheexplorer.home.blog\/2022\/10\/14\/celebrating-6-years-of-blogging\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Natalie the Explorer<\/a>! Grab a treat, have a seat, and let&#8217;s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Write with me!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m hosting a weekly write-in, sponsored by Lawson Writer&#8217;s Academy. We meet every Saturday from 7-8 AM Arizona time (GMT-7, currently the same as Pacific Daylight), with the Zoom room open at 6:30 in case anyone is sufficiently caffeinated to want to chat before getting down to business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to join<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Go to margielawson.com and sign up for an account. It&#8217;s free, and all you need is an email and a password.<\/li><li>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.margielawson.com\/product\/lwa-write-ins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.margielawson.com\/product\/lwa-write-ins\/<\/a><\/li><li>Click Add to Cart<\/li><li>Click either View Cart or Go to Checkout<\/li><li>Click Place Order<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll get the Zoom links for all LWA write-ins, including mine, on the next screen and in your email. You can also access the classroom forums to chat with other writers. I don&#8217;t get any kind of compensation for either referring you to LWA or hosting the write-ins. I just really like the community of LWA writers and the classes, and I&#8217;m hoping a commitment to dragging my ass out of bed at o&#8217;dark thirty every Saturday will result in me actually getting some writing done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s a write-in and why should I join one?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Haven&#8217;t been to a write-in? You&#8217;re missing out! A write-in is exactly what it sounds like&#8211;a bunch of people gather in a room (in person or virtually) and write together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not write by yourself? Well, we all do that, but a write-in serves a couple of purposes. First, it can create some motivation and accountability to actually get your butt in the chair and hands on the pen or keyboard. It&#8217;s protected writing time, right there on your calendar. Second and more important (for me at least), it provides a sense of community. Writing can be a lonely business. Other writers can provide support, encouragement, and empathy. No matter what kind of writing you do&#8211;fiction, nonfiction, blogging, ransom notes&#8211;come join us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s talk about&#8230; the weather!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, I&#8217;m not desperate to fill space in this post. It&#8217;s finally weather-bragging season down here in Satan&#8217;s Anus, otherwise known as The Reason We Live Here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What? You thought a few million people endure 4+ months of temperatures roughly equivalent to the surface of Venus because we *like* it? Get real. We live here because from October through April, it&#8217;s (mostly) glorious. We&#8217;ve had daytime temps in the mid-upper 80s and nights in the low 60s, and this weekend we&#8217;re dropping into the 70s during the day and&#8211;gasp!&#8211;it&#8217;s supposed to get below 60 Sunday night (for the first time since maybe early April). While y&#8217;all in the Northeast and Midwest are shoveling snow all winter, I&#8217;ll be sitting on my porch in a t-shirt and flip flops. Believe me when I say, I&#8217;ve earned it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early fall in Tucson<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t traveled anywhere since my trip to the piney woods last month, but now that it&#8217;s cool enough to avoid spontaneous combustion, Long-Suffering Husband and I have ventured out to explore our adopted city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tucson Mountain Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After 4 months of being mostly trapped inside by the heat till after dark, I&#8217;ve been itching to get out in nature, so a couple of weeks ago I took a short solo hike in Tucson Mountain Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.42.03.jpg?resize=681%2C510&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6291\" width=\"681\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.42.03.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.42.03.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.42.03.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.42.03.jpg?w=1210&amp;ssl=1 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.03.jpg?resize=684%2C513&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6292\" width=\"684\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.03.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.03.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.03.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.03.jpg?w=1210&amp;ssl=1 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 684px) 100vw, 684px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.23.jpg?resize=686%2C515&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6293\" width=\"686\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.23.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.23.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.23.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/janetalcorn.com\/staging\/1364\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/2022-10-01-09.51.23.jpg?w=1210&amp;ssl=1 1210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I took that last picture while perched on a rock on the side of a hill, just looking and listening and&#8230; being.
