In an attempt to make my life a little easier, I’ve decided to post a link here to my writing blog. At some point, I will get the two to talk. Until then, please drop by my blogspot to see my progress and to help keep me motivated.

I don’t even want to think about how quickly January passed. Did I accomplish my writing related goals of ‘claiming my writing space’ or ‘developing an idea for an anthology short’? Sort of. One thing I did do was send my regrets to the concom running Ad Astra. There are too many things happening and [...]
