Camp NaNo Update

What Track is Your Story On?
The afternoon was quickly slipping away. It was time to write. Eagerly I pulled out NEO, placed my notebooks, paper, and pen on my bed, and set up my music stand. I had been looking forward to this writing time since I had quit writing on Tuesday night. Now it was Thursday. Everything had […]
