Just a quick post, as I have finally hit 50 thousand words tonight – before midnight. I am not sure when I will post this – I have got to edit it before I do – not much else is edited on my National Novel Writing effort. My writing projects are not yet done. I …
I’ve been extremely quiet online recently. I’m sure you all noticed. I haven’t been idle though! I’ve been participating in NaNoWriMo 2014.
