Spending a day just the two of use, with no kids or responsibilities (if you don’t count being up at 7am to register the kids for their spring swimming classes) was great. We got to relax, take a walk by the falls and even shared a romantic dinner. Its been great to be away, and …

POD: Our Anniversary View
Today is Melissa and my 10 year anniversary. To celebrate we’ve headed out-of-town for a romantic weekend without the kids (Thanks Nana and Papa). We headed out after the evening rush hour, so we arrived late, and the cold kept us from heading down to the falls tonight. Though we did get to see them …

Looking back at NaNoWriMo 2014
The month is over, my mad dash to 50,000 words came up short. Very short. I didn’t even manage to write 15,000 words this year, and that’s including my background and world building work in my word count. Still as I sit here and look back at the month I feel like it’s been a …

POD: Hitting 1000
Tonight I continued my November routine of heading to Starbucks with Jacob to do some writing. I haven’t managed to find my novel writing groove, but it’s been fun trying. Tonight I don’t want to write about my struggles, I want to write about Jacobs success. My little man hit 1000 words tonight. His writing …
