So instead of NaNoWriMo this year, I was going to do NaNo-Craft-Mo...or something to that effect for myself. I didn't exactly make it to 30 crafty things in a month, but I did finish up some cool felt ornaments and got a good start on a pretty awesome hat, if I do say so myself.

Made it to 10,000 words today! Yay, Nano! Feelin' pretty good about it since I actually tried to plan out my story this time and I've been keeping pretty conscious of the things I've done before that have made me shudder upon re-reading. :)

My main female character has just downed a police officer with her shoe...
