Oh man, So looking at my twitter feed, I noticed my pinned tweet is the last time I shared any of my current WIP with y'all.

Current word count: 31,597 This week has been a hard one, I'm not as far into the story as I thought I would be at 30K words; which mostly means I'm going to cutting a ton of stuff when I edit this in December. I was hoping to get to the Battle of Monmouth, … Continue reading NaNoWriMo 2018 Week 2
