Do you daydream?
Do you daydream? Do you sit and think about a life different from the one you are living now? Daydreaming can be a wonderful thing. I sit and I think about where I am and where I want to be. I imagine owning my own space. I am not sure what to call it but... Continue Reading →

Life & NaNoWriMo don’t play well together
