I love Halloween. I love Pumpkins. I absolutely love pumpkins more than Halloween. Recently my boyfriend and I adopted a little girl husky. I say little, but she's almost 50lbs, so she's not that little (sorry for those who don't use our weight system, but I'm way too lazy this morning to convert it for … Continue reading WIPpet Wednesday!!

Getting back into it
I have not worked on FOR BY GRACE since last Monday. Oh. My. God! It's insane! I had one whirlwind of a week between class assignments and extra events.

The Downward Spiral
So...I finished writing my 85k word novel yesterday in a massive rush of typing away during spring break and now...now I'm not sure what to do.
