Eat To Live Take 2

So back in November, I made the announcement to the internets that I was going to follow the Eat To Live diet... and I failed within two weeks. This is pretty typical for me.

NaNoWrimo 2017

One of my life goals is to write and publish a book. I have had this goal for as long as I can remember. I haven't really written anything since Elisabeth and Julius were really young. I have written one complete shortish story, and have a couple half-written stories. But I have had no urge to ... READ the POST
