[Writer Post] Day Late… AGAIN
And… another blog post that’s a day late and a probably a dollar short. But it’s December – a busy time of the year. About to start the holiday baking marathon.

[Pen/Pencil Review] Post-Holiday Edition
Yeah, it’s Tuesday. We took a holiday yesterday. Saw a movie. Took a day off. And that was Monday. So there was, obviously, no review.

[Writer Post] Another State of the Writer
It’s the Holiday Season…the state of the author is that this author is in a state, indeed, with trying to get everything done in a timely fashion. Which tends to mean, lack of brilliant insights. So bear with me on a randomish post (yes, again). Everything is coming to a head in the next week […]
