It didn’t take long for Dionna to point out Sir Gavin’s tent. It wasn’t the best looking, but it wasn’t terrible either. He only had one banner strung up on a pole.

Writing Project: Not According to Plan
I’d like to share a writing project I once wrote in 2013. I’m not entirely sure the details of the project anymore, but I like to think it’s a pretty good story!
