And further surprise! I did not write a post for the question this month. I blame the start of school, the pace of my freelance writing (picking up), and who I am as a person. *insert shrug emoji*
A special announcement was part of this month’s blog hop. I won’t make you click around to figure out what it is. Instead, I will tell you: IWSG is hosting another contest for short stories to be featured in their anthology. Theme-Mystery/Crime/Thriller that has something specific to do with time (a clock, a countdown, something time related.) Word count 3500-6000. Due by November 1st, 2017. Go here to check that out and perhaps enter.
The question for the regular monthly hop is: Have you ever surprised yourself with your writing? For example, by trying a new genre you didn’t think you’d be comfortable in?
The awesome co-hosts for this month of September are Tyrean Martinson, Tara Tyler, Raimey Gallant and Beverly Stowe McClure. Go give their posts a gander if you want more satisfying answers to things like questions and wordier posts with cool insights.
Although I didn’t take a whack at the question myself, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts. Feel free to ruminate about it in the comments and I will be sure to answer.
To make up for the lack of postage here, I present to you this fun otter meme. Everyone loves otters. Laugh at the cute otter, and forgive my lack of ambition this month.

Excellent otter meme.
An otter is appropriate for every occasion
That is a fantastic meme. 🙂 I surprise myself all the time, but I probably spend equal amounts of time doubting myself. 🙂
For sure there are days I’m positive I can’t swim with the big fish. I’m considering getting a nice framed picture of Dory with “just keep swimming” in fancy script. I’m so glad I found your site with this month’s blog hop, I plan to keep going back for the marketing articles! 🙂
