Less than two months, the emails have started from NaNo and the regional group I am in has started trying to get some venues for write ins sorted. I am planning now that I have picked a story idea, although I am constantly itching to go back to a SciFi story. But I really want…
We came to Scarborough about a month ago with the youngest daughter, it was a good break but bless her she doesn’t like all the walking around and this ends up causing her to moan, so when we got back I booked a break for just me and Trace. Rather than just come straight here…
