Author of spooky, fantastical and swoony fiction and blogger of high strangeness.
So this weekend (around 5PM on Saturday, to be somewhat more precise), this happened: The final word count came in at just under 72K, which is shorter than I thought it would be, but it took a turn toward the end that I think is much better than what I’d originally planned (note: just because […]
