YeahWrite #496 Weekly Writing Challenge is Open for Popular Voting
Up all night (to keep writing) I don't know about you, but I have a finite window of productive writing time. Oh, not in terms of how many hours there are in the day, but in terms of even if I had all the hours in the world, I can only really write for a few in a row...
Welcome to YeahWrite’s Weekly Writing Challenge #496
