It’s day one of this year’s NaNoWriMo challenge. Is everyone off to a great start? My project this year is a mystery. I haven’t written one in a long time and I got started on it last week. How about you, what are you tackling this year? A new to you genre maybe? Something that’s…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-New Class Platform and An Audio Book
