Every year, I forget how much I love September, because I so obviously KNOW I love October.
But the sky changes, you know? It’s still summer for three more weeks, but it’s LIMINAL summer. It’s HARVEST summer. It’s a summer yearning to be FALL ALREADY.
There’s a breeze coming through my window. It’s cool but not cold. It’s not an August breeze at all.
We are home now, after a month away on our Infernal Tour! I want to write a whole other newsletter just to show you all my pictures and give you the blow-by-blow, but for now, I will let you know a few of the things happening in September!
Last weekend, we went to Twenty-Sided Store in Brooklyn, to be the spotlight for their “RPG SideQuest Adventures” series. We met new friends Lauren and Cynthia, hung out with good friends Dani, Bill, and Amy, and ran a game of Negocios Infernales!
This coming Saturday, Carlos will take part in the Latinx Storytellers Conference.
He’s on one panel, and will also be giving a reading. He loves friendly faces, so if you’re there, go up and say hi!!!
