It’s November again, and we all know what that means. Raking leaves, eating candy left over from Halloween and reading and writing a whole passel of drivel here at Butterscotch Sundae Dot Com.

I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to participate in National Blog Posting Month this year, because my laptop was stolen and with it my ability to write away from the corner of the living room where people are always looking over my shoulder or asking me if they can please, please have just one more piece of Halloween candy. But then I read something by someone who writes often and well (The Wordliest Time of the Year by Vikki Reich) and I figured I’ve NaBloPoMo’d for so many years now I might as well do it again this year — which is also, coincidentally, the reason this whole website still exists.

So anyway, Vikki’s inspirational post and the tides of history came together in one magnificent crash of motivation and I said to myself: “Let’s just start writing and see what falls out.”

And so I did, and here’s what’s fallen out thus far.

Happy November, friends. I’m glad to be hear and I hope you are, too.
