I always enjoyed reading fantasy books with magic in them, and the better thought out ones with an actual magical system were even better!

And it Begins . . . NaBloPoMo
Today is the first day of a new experiment. I’m planning on participating in the NaBloPoMo for November in an effort to try to write more.
