I ran out of binders to use for my day job and my personal writing, so we made a trip over to the local Goodwill to see if they had any. I found two bundles plus an interesting bag of stuff, all of which you see here. No binders in this bag, but I did spot a few jelly rolls in new condition, as well as some yardage. Turned out to be a nice selection of three jelly rolls, two yards of orange satin, a brand-new clothesline, a new spool of ribbon, a new cleaning cloth and a cute little garden flag. My guy can use the cloth and the clothesline; everything else is for me. I'll even find a way to use the flag. This bundle was my primary reason for thrifting: three like-new binders with view fronts that would cost about twenty bucks new. I was quite happy to pay $4.99 for the trio. All I need to do is wipe them clean and they'll be ready to use. I can't show you everything in this bundle, as some of it belonged to a child who wrote their name in it ...

As of October 13th I finished the fifth and final novel in my latest series for work. Here's the whole series (a bit dishevelled after I jostled the pile around during Hurrican Ian.) I began this project on January 23rd of this year, so it took 264 days for me to write 5 books that average about 67K each. I've been writing about 1800 words per day (with a few week-long breaks) so this new split morning/evening writing schedule is really working well for me, I think.
