For today, Day 4 of the Thirty Days of Me Challenge, I’m supposed to talk about a habit I wish I didn’t have. If only there weren’t so many to choose from. I could go for the low hanging fruit and wish I didn’t eat so many chips or so … Continue reading →

Yes, I’m done. 50,024. I’m not done with the book, but NaNo has been won. Will keep working to bring the book to it’s conclusion. I’m on the second to last chapter, and there’s much to be said and done before all is said and done.
