I have more time on Sundays than most other days, so it was nice to have that extra time both before and after writing. Of course, I took some time to chat with my friend Wendy, who is working on her next novel as well. That made for some nice interludes, and it always energizes […]
NaNoWriMo – Day Fourteen and Fifteen
