Ten November Targets I had a look back at my October review and it helped me pick ten November targets. I also threw in a few new things because I’d probably get bored if I didn’t! Maybe  I need to widen my horizons a bit and generally have more fun.  The things holding me with blogging  back are: I’m not very techie. Fear of failure can act as my prison.
