But I’m putting this aside for now. I want to come back to it in a month or two with fresh eyes. But it will be finished!

Thanks to everyone who has cheered me on this month! I’ve had lots of well-wishes here on WordPress and Facebook!

  1. Does NaNo go all year? I’ve never done it before, but I am interested.

    • I don’t think it goes all year, but that’s a good question. The “big” NaNoWriMo is every November. There are Camp sessions in April and July. I believe you can declare new projects at any time, though. I need to do more research. I’m glad you’re interested! It’s a lot of fun. This year will be my 10th anniversary!
