I have just committed to NanoWrimo’s camp forJuly and set a goal of 50,000 words for my non-fiction book in the works!
I also have a bad ass writing group who holds me accountable and I am also creating a new writer’s group set to launch in the fall and I couldn’t be more excited!

What is your writing schedule this summer?
