NaNo day FOUR!!
It's 9:37 p.m. on Thursday night. I had just finished my daily word quota for NaNo to consider this day a success. Which seems a bit odd since in the same stat box they list me as being FOUR days ahead of schedule. Yet if I don't make a daily mimimum they list it as... Continue Reading →
NaNo update: Day three

Spring
glitter-graphics.comAs I sit at home gazing out the window, a lone sparrow landed in a hanging flower pot outside my window. I have not cleaned out the flower pot from last year so it contains old, dead flowers from last summer. The bird landed happily in the pot, chirping and singing his praises for spring....
