As the year begins to wind down, I start to work on my spreadsheets for taxes. I try to keep up with them all year, but it gets really serious in December!
I've begun to realize that I can reference data from one place to another and not duplicate things. The best site that helped me figure out the right string to include was WikiHow.Tech, specifically their instructions for pulling data from one sheet to another in Google.
The single quotes around the name of the sheet was the key. It's amazing how one keystroke can stop things from working!

A new book published!
My aunt has had a dream for years to create a book about my uncle and one of his childhood adventures. We finally made it happen!
Her first book, called "A True Christmas Story", has been completed and is not available. You can see it at http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/TrueChristmasStory.
I have to give Lulu credit for a pretty easy process. My learning curve was a bit steep, I've never designed a book before, but once I got into it, it went well. Excellent customer service so far. We're ordering her holiday gifts tonight!
I am going to turn this into an e-book next. And then we'll see what other ideas people want to get published. Now that I know how to do this, I'm adding to my list of editing services. Let me know if you have a book you need help getting to the final proof stage!

Hello November
I see you November, hanging out just past Halloween. I'm getting all of the NaNoWriMo emails. I'm seeing Christmas decorations in the stores. I cannot believe we are here right now.
It has been a busy fall. Empty nesting is not quiet. All of the invitations that we pushed to the fall, when we expected to have free time, meant that we had no free time as the weeks rolled. And as the holidays start to kick in I realize I still have books to read, and projects to knit, and rooms to clean out.
On a bright note, my aunt's book is in the final proof stage, I've emptied a room completely in my house and will be re-purposing it to empty many other boxes around my house, I "think" I have a plan for several other projects and I just welcomed a new client to my freelance business.
What do you still have left to do this year?
