Greetings, Catching up, Shiny News
Greetings folks of the WordPress realm! What do you mean, ‘Who’s that?’ It’s me! *waves* I know, I’m sorry. I have been AWOL. This is simply because ‘busy’ doesn’t begin to cover it. Being productive and proactive I have found … Continue reading

2000
Tonight’s revelation: 2,000 words is not that much. I mean, it is. Sort of. On my average writing night I used to produce between 1000-1500 words a night. That was only once a week, after work and I still felt … Continue reading

Holy Real-Life-Deadline, Batman!
