Camp Nanowrimo Day 1 Off the rails
What has this year been? Seriously. Who forgot to throw a Virgin in the volcano to appease the gods? That's the only way I can think of to explain the absolute shit show these past 6 months have been. This was supposed to be THE year. The year of clear and perfect vision. The year of...
