November is now over, and with it, I am free of National Novel Writing Month once more. This was my seventh year participating. I’ve won every year except one (my third). I never end up going back to edit what I’ve written, or even to re-read it at all. I’m always pretty sure it’s someContinue reading “Happy National Day!”

Vacation Ends
I’m now back in the desert. Last summer I bought an army surplus backpack from a family friend for $35. Since I’ve never been backpacking and have no immediate plans to do so, I figured I didn’t need an Official Backpacking Backpack. What I wanted instead was a backpack big enough to hold everything IContinue reading “Vacation Ends”
Vacation
I’ve been MIA for a few weeks now because I’ve been on summer vacation. As much as I like to pretend I’ll be productive during the long car rides and stints in hotels, it never happens.

Yet somehow,Continue reading “De-cluttering the Closet”

On Christmas, our neighbors invited us over for cake and conversation,Continue reading “Farm Life Comes to an End”

Instead of College
A while back, I made a list of 10 things I wanted to do instead of going to college (or before, depending on how my life works out). When I made it, James Altucher’s 8 Alternatives to College were fresh in my mind. Despite being alive for close to 20 years, I can’t even comprehend choosingContinue reading “Instead of College”
Let’s Get Our Debate On
Or not. So, this is going to be my brand new blog. Tumblr got old, and here I am. The current plan is to post once a week. Adjustments may be made at a later date. A little bit about me: my name is Daisy, I was born in North Carolina, and I currently liveContinue reading “Let’s Get Our Debate On”
