When summer is approaching, I inevitably start thinking about SHIPtember. June, July and August will fly by in the summer rush, and suddenly, September is here—and I hate going unprepared into SHIPtember. Although I must admit, some of my personal favorite SHIPs have been born out of zero planning and sheer desperation. I have participated in SHIPtember (almost) annually for over ten years now, and I have some insight I would like to share with you.
