- A Change of SeasonsI think it’s shows real growth when you’re ready to say, I’m done.
- Welcome to National NaNoWriMo Comment Month or NaNaNoWriMoCoMoNobody’s been asking for my opinion about the recent NaNoWriMo controversy. That’s less about not having anything useful to say, but more about no one knowing who I am. That’s fine. But…here we go.

- What was my point…of view?My biggest surprise was how my point of view slipped from time to time. Let’s just say I left myself some pointed comments.
