Hey look, a new month.
Let's see what we can do with it.
I think October is my favorite month. For one thing, it contains Halloween. And my favorite type of weather, which will hopefully involve actual rain this year.

October Post-Age Meter
Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

What I'm hearing is that our communal goal for October is "at least 2112, maybe 2113."Sorus, on September's Postage Meter thread. wrote:2150 is the closing count for September. I was hoping to be able to play either 2112 or 2113 in U's new game, but there's always this month.
Speaking of which, it must be time for a new thread.
And the other thing I'm hearing is "Do it for Sorus!"
Of course, maybe we could make our communal goal the first four digits of the number "e."
(3141 or 3142 for an approximation of pi would be a reach.)
I think this is a common pattern for certain things..ussusimiel wrote:I managed a 10 average in the early months but it nearly broke me!The Watch started to become a place of drudgery and toil...
Even role-playing games. Once your invested, then...
As far as personal posting goals... hmm, gotta think about that..
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

I'm thinking we can break 3K this month.
I know that sounds optimistic given recent history, and no one has ever accused me of being an optimist - but:
Summer is over.
SRD has a new book out in less than two weeks. (
)
We can do it.

Right... I forgot about that.. I should, like... look at those sub-forums devoted to SRD's work.Avatar wrote:Well, we started out quick again anyway. 122 as of this post.
Good point about the new books though, that'll probably bring some activity.
And Julie's birthday is 5 days away.
If I start/rediscover-and-rez a "Favorite Hymns thread," I should time it for before then... :evil mastermind / Montgomery Burns hand-steepling gesture:
