Apparently, back in the month of January, I was cursed tagged by a certain SambearPoet to divulge sixteen random facts about myself. I made sure to wait until the meme had run its course and almost disappeared from the collective internet psyche before releasing my facts upon the world. Why? I don’t know.

November came and went, and 50,777 words later, I finished the task on time. I tried to stick to a schedule this year, forcing myself to write at least the required 1667 words a day to finish on time. For the most part, I kept up this schedule. However, I seemed to have the [...]
It’s that time of year again when thousands of people from all over the world dust off the old word processor and pencil, and take part in a mad writing frenzy to jot down 50K words in the rough shape of a story by the end of the month. This year will be my second [...]
