I CAN’T THINK OF A BLOG POST (and 2 month recap)
Like nope, there ain't nothing there. Got no thoughts about writing. I mean I've been writing a lot - just not thinking about writing I guess?? I came here to say I have nothing to talk about.

Nanowrimo: the Aftermath
Um. Hi. Nanowrimo is over and well - I did not succeed *bum da tisss* I ended at 34,000 (which is better than last year). What did I write? Could I have done anything better? Am I still alive?

But I'm not feeling it today, because I still have 667 more words to write, meat to eat, and ornaments to finish. It's only 4:30. I feel like it's 7.

And So, It Begins: Nanowrimo 2016
Last night, while sitting on the couch, after a lovely night of sitting on the driveway in a pirate costume (I will say I looked awesome) with my neighbors and family, and after watching Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein, I suddenly jerked up.

Nanowrimo 2016
First of all, how on earth are you supposed to pronounce that acronym?? As I mentioned earlier, I have decided to attempt to accomplish Nanowrimo this year. Never done.
