NaNo Update–Because I didn’t include one in my last post.  Well, I’m broaching the halfway point of week three and I now wholly believe that week two is the hardest and the worst for trudging through.  For me it was all about trial and error.  I wanted to write a chapter a day because I [...]

As you probably’ve already gathered, I don’t like to make social commentary in my blog.  I think I can count on one hand with fingers to spare how many times I’ve voiced my opinion about something political or controversial.  I think this’ll be a post that can be added to that tally.
