Update on Nano
For a day or so I’ve been behind. I’ve worked on my story everyday but I got caught up in changing my POV from third person to first. I didn’t feel I could write it well in third and I felt like I needed to change it all over before I moved on. In some…

Completed today’s goal and then some

The thought of taking my laptop for “write-ins” sounds really fun! So I may do that. It got me thinking alot about writing and since I couldn’t sleep last night I…
