The end of summer is upon us. I'm still enjoying sunny and 70 in Idaho, but the nights are getting downright cold.
The end of my 69th year is Thursday. When I turn sixty-nine, I've decided to take it as symbolic. Sort of a theme for the year. Must make sure I'm available.
The end of For Money or Mayhem is Wednesday. I'm posting the last two chapters at the same time so you don't have to wait for the conclusion. And don't say I didn't warn you back when this story started posting. Ma/Fa, Heterosexual, Fiction, Mystery, Tear Jerker, Workplace.
The end of my planning time for Wild Woods is crashing in on me and I've hardly started. I'll be writing the first draft of the sequel to City Limits in November, going for my fifteenth consecutive NaNo win. I've invited people to read the rough draft as I write it by donating $10 (Fifth Element Level or Sausage Grinder) on my Patreon page. I know a lot of people don't want to commit to $10 per month, so you can make a one-time donation to my Paypal at https://www.paypal.me/aroslav and I'll send the link for daily updates during November. Alternatively, join my Patreon Community at http://www.patreon.com/nathaneverett in October and quit it after cards are charged on November 1. You'll still get the whole month of updates. If you are currently a $10 community member of either Nathan Everett or aroslav, you'll automatically be included in notices of reading links. Fair warning: City Limits required a near-90% rewrite after last year's NaNoWriMo first draft. When I say first draft, I seriously mean right off the keyboard. No filters.
The end of my sedate time in the northlands. Friday, I'll be moving the trailer into Spokane for service while I cut across the State of Washington for a week with the 3Fs: Family, Friends, Fysicians. I'll retrieve my trailer on the 8th of October and come back to camp here at Sun Meadow for a week while I provision for my journey south. I plan to leave on the 15th and wander slowly toward Quartzsite, AZ where I'll be spending the winter. I'm taking the route south through Nevada's Great Basin and just wandering. Haven't decided any stops or continuing routes from Vegas. Just plan to keep wandering.
So, when I say I'm at loose ends, now you know what I'm talking about.
