So, things have been quiet, haven’t they? Yeah.
I’ve got half a dozen things in various stages of written, most of which probably aren’t going to go any further. So I’m closing them today and letting them sit waaaaaay back on the burner and starting fresh.
And by fresh I mean completely. I’m resetting the counter over […]

Whenever I write something I’m particularly proud of and post it, like the previous pair of kaybles, I get a form of writer’s block I like to call performance anxiety.

In 2004, I attempted NaNoWriMo for the first time. I failed spectacularly, due to illness.
In 2005, I tried again. This time, I failed spectacularly due to illness.
