  • Debates and YA

    It’s been over a week since I started Camp NaNo and I’m already a little bit behind. I can’t entirely blame myself though (doesn’t every NaNo-er say that?). Yesterday it took a solid two hours to try to get server patching done for work. I had an hour to detox my brain before heading to…
