I was sitting in my car waiting for my daughter’s dance class to finish up, and I realized what day it was. Today we’re officially halfway through November, which means we’re halfway through NaNoWriMo, and THAT means a lot of…
Firing Up The Ole NaNoWriMo 2021 Wagon!
October 25, 2021
Firing up the ole NaNoWriMo wagon again! 50,000 words is a long way to go, but I did it two years ago and wrote the first draft of Lucky Day in 24 days. I spent the final 6 days of…

October 23, 2020
