FOMP: Fear of Meeting People
On my first full day in ATL, I went on Meetup and signed up for a bunch of groups. I joined hiking groups, dinner groups, social get togethers, etc., and then I slowly watched event after event go by without attending. I had an excuse almost every time.

NaNoWriMo!
It’s November 1, and that means that it is officially the start of National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo. Being that I am completely and utterly crazy, I have decided to sign up.

Wish me luck & thanks for reading 🙂
