I keep telling myself, ‘I need to update this site more often.’ Well, you can see how that pans out. It’s upsetting, but sometimes life just hits and damn, does it hit hard. I am happy to announce I got my first real comment. A comment that was not spam. I feel like celebrating. Instead, [...]

I have good news! I finished chapter six the other night. And last night, I started chapter seven and continued writing on it this morning and into the afternoon. Then, I had to stop. There’s this thing called work that I do? I don’t know if you’ve ever heard of it. But, they expect you [...]

It’s been over two months since I last posted? What happened to my promise of trying to write every day? It went into the toilet. I’m so bad at keeping promises to myself. It really is upsetting. But, the good news is that I’ve been making a lot of personal changes to improve myself. I’m [...]

I’m very happy that I seem to be extremely motivated with any sort of writing. I will let you know that NaNo is now three months away. Very exciting. I have a new blog that will be used for every day events as well as NaNo. I also tried doing another thirty minute exercise but [...]
