Whoops.
Hello, November, goodbye, November.
Aaaaand hello, December.
2013 where have you gone?
So last month I:

So.... Nano.
How much do we love Nano? Seriously, at some point in the past decade it stopped being an exercise to help newbie writers get over the "this is crap" stall-out of dejection and became this glorious, freakish, masochistic Writer's Christmas ( Read more... ) -
