National Novel Writing Month is just around the corner, kicking off November 1. I use NaNo (as it is affectionately known) to write first draft material. I’ve participated every year since 2003.

As you know, we’ve been preparing for this time for a little while. Dazzle had a pleasant morning wandering the back yard. We ran some errands. When we came home, she was gone. Hubby woke up on Saturday morning, September 4, 1993, and knew he had to go to the … Continue reading →
