Sometimes it’s only while working on my year-end wrap-ups that …
Hello Readers! Happy New Year! First a little life update… December was a whirlwind for me.

Hello Readers! November was a struggle for me. I participated in my 9th NaNoWrimo (National Novel Writing Month), but once again I was a #NaNoRebel, working on an existing project, which is never as fun as creating something new and shiny.
