I have written a novel, but yes handwritten and I just blergh, write it on a comp
OMG, that kodkod is absolutely adorable! I had no idea that I needed pictures of one until I clicked your link.
I have read some of those Discworld novels and can see where the descriptions fit, but others? Um… yeah, I’m lost.
I have tried hand-writing novel drafts in the past, but since I always tried it during NaNoWriMo it never worked for me.
