I skipped NaNoWriMo last year after participating since 2011, but now I’m back! I started strong. Woke up early Sunday, November 1st, and started work on Knights of Stone: Bryce, part 3 in the Highland Gargoyles series. I had my second 5,000 word day — ever! Only reached that milestone once before, during a previous …
November is approaching. What that means is some last minute tying up of projects before I go in the writing cave for National Novel Writing Month. I’ve participated in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
