February is mere hours away.  And for the month of February I’ve decided to join NaBloPoMo for a challenge.  I am looking forward to the challenge and having fun with it.  The theme for the month?  Relative.  Weekends are free writes and the other 5 days of the week we’re offered prompts should we choose to use them.  I think that sticking with a theme will be fun and difficult at the same time.  Nothing like diving right in at the beginning of the year and really making a commitment eh?
