Then, we’re off to Parker Williams for an interview that puts Hold’s MC, Luke Aday, in the driver’s seat. It also includes pictures of the characters, so you can see all of their beautiful faces.
Finally, you can see a lovely post full of...

Starting Your NaNoWriMo Journey

fictionwritingtips:

Whether you’re new to NaNoWriMo or you’ve done it a few times, the whole thing can still feel pretty daunting. Since we’re only a couple days away from the start of a new one, I want to encourage you to set some goals and make sure you’ve done some planning before diving in.
