on the power of showing up

note: I wrote this post in April of 2019 (pre-COVID). It's been sitting in my drafts for quite a while, but I think it's time for it to see the light of day.

Hopefully I'll feel up to posting on this dear old blog soon. :)

      Thanks so much, Lauriloth! Good to hear from you. Your comment made me smile.

      Indeed! It did go by very fast. I look forward to posting about my NaNo! Did you end up doing it yourself as well?

      I did do NaNo, indeed. ^_^ I had a wonderful one! Still scrambling around trying to actually finish my novel though. Hoping to have it done by New Year's...hopefully. Eheh.

My only rule is basic respect and honor. Disagreement is accepted, but hate and trolling is not. Otherwise, say what you need to say, and have fun. And don't forget to grab a free complimentary mint on your way out.
