You remember this, from last year, don’t you? It will be my official cup of java starting November 1. That’s TOMORROW! Several days ago, I introduced the idea of posting part of a novel on my blog, the parts already written, while I slave away at trying to […]

From the Rome Construction Crew website, here’s a long-overdue update on goals I had set way back when: Is it November yet? OMG, it’s almost November! Yes, I’ve been lolling in the luxury of not having to meet a WORD COUNT for the past few months but November (meaning NaNoWriMo) […]
