2. I also thought you did [...]

it’s vs its
A little grammar lesson for everyone today.
While writing and editing my book, I kept bumping into a conflict in trying to decide between “its” and “it’s.”
I kept forgetting which was the correct usage of each word. (Here’s to hoping I caught and corrected all the instances within the book! )

Crazy Love
I got a copy of a great DVD last week in the mail — Francis Chan’s “Crazy Love.” The DVD is a companion to the book of the same title and is put together as a great resource for small group discussion.

St. Peter’s Brewery :: 25k words
Don’t worry, this won’t be a 25,000 word post. I now know that would take 58 pages in a word document.
I have crossed the halfway mark for #nanowrimo on Nov 18! WOOT! (25,298 words to be exact as of 10:12 p.m.)
Now in all seriousness, the challenge is to reach 30k by tomorrow night at midnight. [...]

St. Peter’s Brewery aka a #nanowrimo update
Here’s my stats as of right now. I’ve gotten a little bit behind, as you can see I haven’t updated each and every day.
Starting out, I think you need an average of 1,666 words a day to finish all 50,000 words in a month. I think my average for the remaining 20 days is now [...]
