  1. Hey, if you want to, you can come join my 2nd Annual September is for Sequels Challenge since it seems you'll be reading some sequels this month. And then you can enter to win a $20 gift card just for doing what you were planning to do! I need to do some writing as well, but think I'm going to wait till November for National Novel Writing Month.
