I started a novel back at the beginning of November. I wrote well beyond the required fifty thousand words required for Nanowrimo and the annual challenge, and sometime in January, I finished.

But if [...] December 16th, 2008 | Tags: authors, best-sellers, books, Fiction, inspiration, novel, Romance, Thomas Sullivan, Writers, Writing | Category: Thomas Sullivan | Comments are closed
