My Writing
Video of the Day–Breaking 50k

No, I’m not inviting you to go out and experience nature with me (a good thing since I am not in any way nature girl). This month is another round of Camp NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month–the official month is November) and I have decided at the last minute to participate (at the moment my …
