What I Did in 2016

Classes

I started the year on what I called a sabati-hiatus. I wanted to not worry about writing and maybe do a few other things instead. Mostly those other things were classes. I always enjoyed school. I started diving into online classes in late 2015 and continued in 2016.

Writing

But I did work on a few writing projects:

• Started writing Wicked Witch, Retired.
