From Snoopy meets Hobbes Here's hoping that anyone and everyone who's half way through #NaNoWriMo is absolutely smashing that 50k word count. Due to my retail job, I'm not participating in it this year. So I'm just offering all the support and writing help I can. Today's post deals with something I've discovered fairly recently and already enjoy. Today I'm introducing y'all to my bullet journal or bujo for short.

I've completed one Dragon Book : The Dragons' Stones . Presently, I'm about halfway through the sequel, The Dragon's Skin . I love these characters. I seriously love them. And I spent all Sunday working with their happily ever after. It's not something I've done before. Usually, I just write the book, and it ends the way it ends. I'm good with that. But as I'm a little stuck in TDS2, I decided to try writing an eventual ha
