Much to my disappointment, I let some drama at the day job mess with my head a bit in the last couple of weeks and my writing (as well as my overall attitude) has suffered for it. Things are mostly okay now, but it got me thinking. Did I use my moping around as an […]

Five Links Friday 8/24/17
And it’s Friday night again, because why have a regular weekly feature planned out and scheduled to post first thing in the morning, right 🙂 1.
