#NaNoWriMo Tribe: Proud of Us as the Finish Line Approaches
I know this doesn’t mean a lot to many people, but for the few of us who adore telling stories, I’m very proud of you. I wouldn’t be much good to anyone as a writing cheerleader if I didn’t actually participate in National Novel Writing Month and help encourage others to do the same….

Wednesday Wardrobe: Keeping Cool Summer Style
Second Installment: Wednesday Wardrobe | Summer Feature Honestly, I love summer until the humidity cranks up and my hair gets all frizzy and I perspire and stick to chairs.
