NaNoWriMo 2019 Update and Other Stories!

My NaNoWriMo 2017 Novel!
At last! My NaNoWriMo novel for 2017 has a premise! Behold! (I wrote it in English, but the book is still going to be in Afrikaans… for now.) In a world where the mask you wear and the magic imbued therein can literally determine… Continue Reading “My NaNoWriMo 2017 Novel!”
Jozi Flash Anthology and NaNoWriMo 2017 News!
