What Some Writers Do When They Should be NaNoing
I convinced myself over the last couple months to participate in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), but I didn't have time to plan and prep like I would have liked.

He was really upset by this, so I offered to type it up for him while he told me the… Continue reading Riley Meets Silver Surfer
