Ouch, So Many Words
Hello NaNoWriMo fans. You may not know who I am, given my horrible habit of not blogging about Little Village’s NaNoWriMo experience this month (this would be my first).

Little Village vs. NaNoWriMo: Day 3
View all NaNoWriMo entries … The dentist began teasing the side of the deck with his forefinger, a smirk curling across his cheek. Sweat beaded on my forehead and I began to feel light headed.
