Helloooooo everyone! 🍂 Hope you're feeling well and have had a FANTASTIC start to your November!
Day 1 of NaNoWriMo (the real Day 1, and not my October 24th switcharoo bahaha) I spent on the beach, relaxing and reading!

I absolutely adore our current monthly writing experiment...

Y'all....
I did it.
Okay, okay, it's worth pointing out that I'd originally thought this first cozy mystery draft would be 45K words and it ended up landing at just over 40K. 2022-08-01 17:36:35 +0000 UTC View Post
UPDATE!: Sorry y'all, precious Zelda got into some extra treats she shouldn't have tonight and has been a little sick.

IT'S DOUBLE STREAM DAY! More specifically, it's May's delayed double stream day bahaha.
I'll be working on some more Project Death world-building and fleshing out/intertwining some backstories. And of course, we'll do some various (controlled?) chaos to decide the sprint lengths.

Will I ever live down that nickname? No. Did my brother, when we were organizing our Camp NaNoWriMo plans last week, call that month "Prepuary"? Yes.
So you can clearly tell we're related. And equally good at naming.
