So we filled our cups to the brim with hatred. And we cast ignorance upon you if you didn’t agree. And with any misstep we wouldn’t bury you, but you felt six feet under.

Okay, that’s an excuse… But really this just speaks to the importance of forming a game plan on getting the work done. I had an inkling of an idea for my series, but I didn’t know where to start. I also didn’t carve out time and … Continue reading Day 02 – NaNoWriMo Oops

I will be keeping this blog updated with my thoughts on the process. If you have any words of wisdom and various forms of advice, feel free to comment below.
