My WIP in Tropes
There’s a reason that last week’s post was reflecting on my favourite romance novel tropes. I’m dedicating time to my romantic comedy draft and I realised that it encompasses my favourite tropes (duh!).

How I’m Prepping For NaNoWriMo
I’m a NaNo virgin and to say that I’m a bit nervous about the whole thing is a complete understatement.
