NaNoWriMo Project – Day 30 is here!
Woot! 10195 words!! Granted not the 50k I had hoped for, but having to take that second job and getting maybe 5 hrs of sleep a night (in two 2.5 hr shifts) hurt badly. I still consider this a HUGE victory because of working two jobs and being in school part-time, because of my lack … Read more
NaNoWriMo Project – Chapter Four – first draft
