I realized NaNoWriMo started the fourth of this month.
I was already four days behind depending on how you looked at it. I completed an extreme rough draft of a novel during NaNoWriMo and my head told me it was in 2016.

A behind-the-scenes look at random things, and thoughts, in my life pertaining to my writing journey.

Sabbatical
I’m consumed with urgent family matters and didn’t want you to think I disappeared or was neglecting my site. I’ll post again as soon as I can.
Thanks for understanding.

I’m really only posting this to have something here on my site, to let you know that I’m here and working on it. I appreciate your patience during this building process and will have something up soon for you to do some “real” reading.
