For a little over a year now, I have been referring to this story as Keeping Secrets from Friends, as a bit of an on-the-nose codename. Not only was I legitimately keeping the nature of my new story a secret from everyone, but much of the story does revolve around the sorts of things that we hide from everyone, including our closest friends. However, the official title of the novel is Spencer & Curt.

NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is an annual challenge presented to writers. The rules are simple: write x number of words in one month. The standard is 50,000 words, which is the minimum length for a work to be considered a novel (while typically, a novel is actually 80,000-100,000 words in length). This challenge has been going on for several years.

Since my updates have been sparse of late (though, thankfully, are improving in terms of frequency), I thought I'd provide a bit of a catch-up post relating to my current projects.
