What the Hell, Let’s Get Back to It

I was at the Ren Faire recently - I could have written about this insanity. I should have.

It’s amazing how quickly I lost the willingness  to write.

In 2012 I challenged myself to write every day for a  year. The first month was trying but after that I became proficient.
