This kind of goes over stuff we’ve already talked about, but here we are anyway! What’s your WriYe Word Count goal for 2021? Why did you chose it? I picked a goal of 120,000 words for this year. Last year
Obligatory New Year’s Post 2021
Okay, I’ve gotten my act together and made goals for the year. I don’t really feel like going back over 2020 as a whole–I certainly made a lot of progress posts through the year, but it wasn’t all bad. I
