http://www.hon.org/AboutUs/index.php/hon_day_09/honday2009.html was the first thing to pop up when I searched for nashville volunteer work. *shrugs* Seems like fun
Didn’t you have a further broken down to do list of your novel-writing? How far are you on that? You know, picking subject, point of view, setting, etc.
Yeah I actually have two volunteer applications filled out and ready to mail. I’m just lazy about buying stamps.
I have a vague synopsis for my novel. I need to flesh it out some more.
Hooray for you!!!! (And happy birthday, a bit early.) I was just revisiting my own list this week, and it looks like SEVERAL items just plain won’t get done. So your percentage is no small feat!
