I think I forgot to mention my Real Writer ™ moments this week, how crazy is that?
I have an offical Amazon author page! And what’s more, I have books available for purchase on Amazon (for the Kindle). I have had books on Amazon before, but somehow this feels uber official. Ironically, the books up before [...]

Upgrade success and random thoughts
At least, as far as I can tell. I’m still here, website intact, so that is a win in my book.
Is it wrong for a writer to hate Scrabble? I get irritated when I think of the perfect word, a complex word with a rich layered meaning, and it is worth 5 points. Then my [...]
Guess what guess what guess what?
I finished another story.
That’s right, my six shooter beat its six shooter and I am victorious!
I also renamed it, again. That one has a rough time holding a title–what do you call a fairy tale? Usually they are named after the characters, and in my files I had actually named it Jocasta, the heroine’s name. [...]
