Writing – Page 2 – The Accidental Domestic Goddess

Seriously

I’ve been working myself up to get back into writing my gothic fairy tale novel. The first month of school is always more exhausting than I anticipate, so my break from it went longer than I had planned, which may, actually, have been a good thing. I’m always a bit scared to open that Pandora’sContinue reading “Seriously”
