I want to give everyone a heads up. On Friday, November 1st, I will start my journey with NaNoWriMo (and if you would like to know more about what that is, keep reading!). Because of this writing commitment, I won’t be posting any new content during the month of November.

You might remember a previous post called “Summer in Review” where I broke down my goals for the summer and evaluated the extent of achievement.

It’s true. I have a serious problem. If my life depended on me leaving my house on time to meet up with a friend, I guess it would be the end. If the world’s fate was in my hands, and all I had to do was go to bed on time, we’d all be in … More I am Chronically Late All the Time
