The Final Countdown
Now I am panicking. Well, sort of. There is five days left to April's Camp NaNo -- counting today -- and I still need 11,991 words to hit goal and validate. Why did I set a goal of 60k? Why didn't I just leave it at a nice 50k? Why did I even wish for … Continue reading The Final Countdown
