Why I’m not Doing NANOWRIMO Anymore

Summer Update 2024
So, it has been a while since I posted an update (about 6 months, to be exact). With work and other life stuff, I haven’t been able to post in a little while. But, with summer, I have a little more free time, and that also means more time for projects. School ended for us […]
