No Small Victories

I finished a story last week. Like proper finished a story, and turned it in. And then I moved onto the next project with nary a word. Primarily, this was because I had not one, but two other projects that I’d placed on hold to get this story done (Deadline shuffling). Secondarily, it was a …

Am I Still Doing This?

You may have noticed that I’ve fallen off the rails a bit with the blog – the recent holiday notwithstanding. There are a few reasons for this – or that’s what I’d been telling myself. I haven’t had the energy or the time. Which would hold water – Sundays are pretty busy around here – …
