So 3 1/2 months after my last post, begins the best part of the fall (after Halloween) – NaNoWriMo. First, sorry about the lack of anything on this blog over the summer. I must admit that I go through dry periods where I really have nothing to say on here. But that’s likely to change [...]

NaNoWriMo: I WON!!!
