The Undeveloped Story ― A most recent update of mine would tell you that I’m still working on the book (almost finished.. just procrastinating a bit lol) and I have started my own home based business. Yes, it is as scary as it sounds. So, this post is really going... (more)
The Undeveloped Story ― It appears I did it again….. I neglected this blog yet again. I think this was like the third time now. Again, I’m really sorry. My internet connection sucked. Okay, I’ll admit that I lived in the land of Dial-Up. Yes, that does... (more)

The Undeveloped Story ― We’re only a few short days away from the start of NaNoWriMo. I’ve talked to quite a few people about it who have said basically the same thing: “I’m nervous, scared, and excited.That really sums up the emotions people feel &... (more)
