For the grand opening of this blog, I’m spotlighting some of my favorite blog posts and moments from over the years throughout the month of June.

Week Three: CINDER from Conception to Publication

.

This blog highlight took place 3 months after yesterday’s post – at the end of NaNoWriMo 2008. See what 150K in a month does to a person?

Note: Cress was originally titled Crescent and Winter was originally Ebony.
