My Personal November Writing Challenge

I know I promised two posts per month and that I missed one post on October (don’t underestimate how seriously I take my bi-monthly goal) but I had a good reason. The major reason being that I had exams and ultimately made the decision to study rather than write up an article. However, now thatContinueContinue reading “My Personal November Writing Challenge”
