Camp NaNoWriMo July, 2017 Winner!
So this happened. 🙂
Camp NaNO
Nope. It doesn’t look like I’m going to make it for this Camp NaNoWriMo session either, unless I can somehow pull off 9000 words in the last three days. I’m at peace about it, however, because I have written 16,000 new words. And honestly, for a month’s worth of work, I don’t feel like that’s…

Pagan Blog Project Week 27- NaNoWriMo

There’s something seductive in a deadline. Something inspiring about seeing your stats everyday. Something about the good-natured competition that makes me actually accomplish my…
