Hello all! July 2017 Camp NaNoWriMo has officially come to a close. This has been my first Camp NaNo experience - I had been hearing a lot about this event, especially over April. So I was very eager to participate this July :). I must say, that this experience has been one of the greatest in my writing life so far. I must...
Hello all! Today is the 63rd birthday of the granddaddy of all fantasy stories currently on the market. THE LORD OF THE RINGS by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Hello all! So....a couple of things happened. Firstly, I got tired to seeing the Farm Lassie profile in my sidebar. The profile picture didn't really fit the rest of my blog.

Some make us laugh and some make us cringe and wish they had stayed in our brains. But it's still fun to look over them again, isn't it? Pip @ Pip and Lolly tagged me...
Hello all, Since I'm all for knocking tags out in one shot, I'll put up the two tags that caught me in this post. The first is the BBC Classics Tag. Apparently, the story goes that BBC put out this list of 100 classics and said that people only have read a percentage of them. Mary Katherine @ Sarcastic Scribblings gave me a challenge...
Hey y'all, So, I'm being a bad writer and not working on my story on the first day of Camp. I have a good excuse though. I have a major major MAJOR family event going on today, which requires all of my attention. But, seeing as how it's the first day of Camp NaNoWriMo, I might as well do something for the occasion....
