Joy Dare Catch-up

Holy cow! It has been quite awhile since I have posted. Sorry, guys, I have been feeling unmotivated lately for some reason, anyway, I'm feeling better this evening. Oh, and about the stories... I have realized that a story everyday, maybe even every other, was a bit too much. It was fun, but I wanted to have time for other things too, so I'm thinking maybe one or two story sections a week. Sometimes if our goals need to be adjusted to fit our real lifestyle. I am not defeated, I just made that impulse goal when I had no school, haha.
I will be doing January 13th through today.
