I mentioned towards the beginning of the year that I joined an author group called Romance Gems. So far, every month they've hosted a contest and/ or giveaway and April is no exception.

NaNoWriMo 2018 Recap
This is what the graph of a procrastinator looks like. Use this as a cautionary tale and don't do NaNoWriMo like this, kids. Trust me. By the end my wrist hurt and my brain was absolute mush.

I'll probably save the random observations for another post, but I'd like to share one of the situations I found myself in recently. As I've stated before, I hired an editor for my book.
