Throwing In The Towel – At Least Mostly

When it gets to be Day 5 of NaNo, and you’ve written barely 300 words, and each of those words was pulling teeth, and there is just no enthusiasm for writing the story you’ve chosen for NaNo or anything of the sort, it’s time to re-evaluate what is going on. I did my thinking, and [...]
