Nine Cent Girl is 13!!!
Yes, 13! It’s official, Nine Cent Girl is a teenager, with all the audacity and dreaming that you’d want for your baby girl to envision for herself coming into the hard years. Not only is this baby girl, my little blog a teen, but this post passes over the 600 mark. It is with gratitude that I clear this monumental marker, realizing how many of you have been on this journey with me from the very start. Seriously, big thanks to all my readers. Your comments and nods have inspired me straight into this wondrous moment. Let’s share the cheer, for really, what is a writer without readers? So join with me, while I celebrate tonight, and please, please, enjoy this review of some of my favorite posts from 2023.
NaNoWriMo is On!
Yes, November is National Novel Writing Month. One month = 50,000 word novel. Needless to say, there will be no blog post from me this week. Instead, I’m spending my writing time getting to know a whole new cast of characters and discovering what sorts of sticky spots they will fall into. What fun!!

Wish me luck… I’ll update y’all on my progress next Thursday! xxoo
