It included a series of backup plans, too, should Plan A not work out (Plan A: become a hugely successful writer, make lots of money, buy a home in Malibu, take many naps). This timeline included mini-goals of what I hoped to accomplish within a month, year, three years, etc. It included a breakdown of expenses. It also included different scenarios.

Fall is finally here, and everywhere I look I see Pinterest-worthy pumpkin carvings, seasonal door hangings, and all kinds of pumpkin-flavored cookies, breads, and pies. Homemade cornstalk creations line doorways and gourds decorate walkways; neighborhood yards are filled with figures resembling ghosts, witches, and goblins.

Even *I* made a homemade pumpkin pie of my own the other day — from a pumpkin straight from my garden. With a recipe from the web up on my laptop, I learned how to clean a pumpkin, prepare it for roasting, whip up a beautiful filling, and make a homemade crust. The kids helped.
