Lessons I Learned From Writing a Novel in 30 Days
I did it! I finished my novel in 30 days. I set out to write a complete novel by my 35th birthday, June 19th, 2012. And I completed. I slew the dragon. Now I get to share what I’ve learned with you. It was a very eye-opening, arduous, and fun adventure. I learned so much […]
