I had a great writing night tonight. I finished the day with 2229 words to bring my NaNoWriMo total to 55,025 words.

I meant to write the stories and have them finished in October. What ended up happening is I got lazy and didn’t write them at all (well, maybe lazy is too strong a statement. I took a break after finishing GalaxyBillies). So here I am. I’m still writing and I’m also including […]
