D I S C U S S I O N   Q U E S T I O N S :
How did your goals for August go? What have you set for September?
Have you ever started a new hobby based off something you read in a book or wanted to write about? (Like running because you read the Track series by Jason Reynolds or learning tarot because you wanted to write about a psychic?)
If you've indie- or self-published, how many books do you publish at once? Is it as you finish them or do you hold off to get a "backlog" of sorts?
