Diving into that writing thing again

…because now that the computer is set up, I really have no excuse. Okay, so, I could come UP with excuses (like, “dammit I need my puppy”) but they’re just shields I would use to protect myself from the Grand Awfulness of Brain Puke. I will tell a story about that sometime. But now, it’sContinue reading “Diving into that writing thing again”
