[NaNo] 21 Day 6: Snacks, and Romace Writer Guest

I was delighted to be talking about snacks today, when another NaNoWriMo writer joined my Wisdom stream. (I haven't said this, but one person joined and it was odd and he just wanted to talk about podcasting, so I cut that part. But this time it was a writer.) So we talked self pub and Amazon Vellum and romance and pen names (he writes under a secret pen name with his partner, otherwise I would give him more of a shoutout.) Goal- 10000 Me- oh don't even ask. Apparently I need to write first thing or not at all.
