Get Me Writing

Yeesh, don’t I ever give it a rest?

It seems not.

Well, in the style of all epilogues, I am going to revisit elements of my previous posts.  Primarily, editing.  Yeah, like I haven’t done that before.  Read more…

Despite the minor hiccup I had last week, having to redo the final episode pretty much from scratch, I finally managed to finish this opus this week.  And how do I feel?  Am I overflowing with a sense of achievement?  Satisfaction for having gotten this mammoth under control?  Relief? Read more…
