First, let’s dispense with the necessaries:
Happy Halloween!
I Made It!
Last Day of the Write 31 Days challenge!
Happy Halloween!
(I already said that, didn’t I?)
You know that moment where you’re driving along a highway and you are so zoned out that you miss your exit? Or turn? Or, state line?
I kind of feel that way about what just happened here, over these last 31 days. I assumed that there would be a few bumps in the road, as I sought inspiration each day. While I did, indeed, plan a few of the posts out ahead of time, most of them were written only a day in advance, if not the actual day of. Missing at least one day of writing, if not many, was what I believed would happen.
But, Grace pushed me through. It gave me the extra hour that I needed, encouragement in the form of your comments, and even a gentle nudge to check why my post still hadn’t “published” by 9:30 at night! (TIP: It helps to specify A.M. as opposed to, you know, P.M.)
Even the passage of time was a grace to me throughout this challenge. I feel like I must have zoned out for a while, because MY LANDS, how did the end of October sneak up on us this way?
You see, on the very first day, I mentioned that Commitment and I don’t get along too well.
Apparently, we are now friendly. Oh, yes we are!
Thank you Write 31 Days challenge, for that.
So, today, I’m phoning it in! With this picture of my Halloween Costume from 1981. If you can figure out what I was, comment. You’ll be entered to win a copy of The Nesting Place: It Doesn’t Have to be Perfect to be Beautiful by Myquillin Smith (The Nester). I think it’s fitting, since she hosted us during this challenge. Yes?
P.S. HINT: I wasn’t actually all that hot, was I?
P.P.S. I’ll close comments on Monday, November 3rd at midnight EST.
(What comes after P.P.S.? This is day 31, OH YES IT IS, of the Write 31 Days challenge. Click my button below to be transported to a list of each of my 31 Days of Grace posts.)

I was just thinking about how much I have enjoyed reading your posts this month. I am going to miss this challenge. Looking forward to the next adventure from my favorite author 🙂
I need to go through my cards. You look familiar. I was at allume too. 😉 I have no idea. I looked at all the others and agree, maybe a thermometer? thanks for the chance to win. 😉

Congrats on finishing the challenge! I did miss a few days here and there, but managed to get back on track… and even if I hadn’t, I’d be happy with what I did produce over the course of the month. I didn’t quite stay on my topic, but no big deal. I wrote! We all wrote! 🙂
Happy Halloween!

Melissa, you were the winner! I’m going to attempt to contact you through your site. Congrats!
Great job completing the 31 Day challenge!!! I definitely feel like October flew by, and I have no idea how it’s possible that I got every single one of my posts done on time. I’m wondering if it’s a thermometer… ? You’re adorable in this picture, by the way!

Congrats to you on following through with a time-consuming challenge…maybe celebrate with some Halloween candy tonight?!?
1) I’m so proud of you for finishing all 31 days!! I know it is quite a feat and seriously, you need to celebrate.
2) That picture makes me happier than I have words to express, but I’m clueless as to what you were. 😉
Oooh, never mind…I agree with fullofgracedj as to the guess! Thermometer!!
Were you a Mercury thermometer???
